It’s finally out! The new ASK Italian Cookbook I edited this spring is about to be available from ASK restaurants and top booksellers, including Amazon. It’s being published by Viking-Penguin and a large slice of the proceeds will go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, as part of ASK Italian’s bid to raise £1 million for the charity, following on from the £200,000 they raised a couple of years ago. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to have contributed to this super-worthy cause. The book features over 100 recipes including many from the ASK Italian kitchens, chef Theo Randall and from me. The book is beautifully illustrated with colour photography by Jamie Laing and Sylvie Tata – I should know: I did most of the food styling too!
