Italian Cookbook Given To Nora????!!
Hey folks,
First post & couldn't find any others regarding this subject, So......
What is the Cookbook Jamie gives to Nora the dinnerlady as a thankyou gift at the end of his School Dinners series????? It looked like quite a large hardcover book with a blue cover and a one word title in 'script' sort of writing?????? I think it may have been on the subject of Italian cookery and Jamie described it as a personal favourite. Please help!!!!!????? thanks.

It was Passione by Gennaro Contaldo I think!

Re: Italian Cookbook Given To Nora????!!
Hello girls, I've been crazy busy-----had some health problem news about my grandpa and I've been dealing with my step-sisters up coming wedding problems--------she's freaking out and driving me bonkers! That and the boys are at a testing stage----eldest one's starting the lying phase and the other has shown me that there is no such thing as child proof with him------he licked a raw pork chop the other day (he's less than 2 years old) while helping me prepare dinner----I had a diaper from hell after that little lickety split------so I'm having to go all crazy super nanny on their asses(not literally--they don't get spanked--they get the naughty corner/chair/wall)---------I'm trying to get back on more now though!

Mercedes, Sorry that your Grandpa hasn't been well. Children will definitely test you. All sounds normal! ![]()

Gennaro Contaldo's Passione is an excellent book. Every recipe I've tried has come out sensational while being simple at the same time. The tuna and rocket pasta is a favourite of mine (mr rabbit is getting sick of it).
