It’s a collection of traditions and memories, and will very much please anyone wishing to learn more about our culinary traditions but also those who like me, wish to bring back some ‘home’ feel to our expat life.

With gorgeous colour photos throughout and tips and tricks from the master of the technical challenge, bring a taste of the Italian bakery to your home with Giuseppe's Italian Bakes. In his professional life he is an engineer; he grew up in Italy and now lives in Bristol, UK, with his wife and three children.

The secret to becoming healthier, losing weight, living a pain-free and energetic life and healing the planet has nothing to do with counting calories, reducing portion sizes or feeling deprived – the key is re-learning how to eat like a human. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. A year on, and just as the new 12 contestants pop up on our screens, Giuseppe’s first cook book is out, named Giuseppe’s Italian Bakes. Sejal Sukhadwala probes the complex intersection of tradition and colonialism through the fascinating history of curry, from its association with Ayurveda – one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems to its enduring popularity in contemporary British culture.

Whether you’re in the countryside or the city, there are all sorts of delicious plants growing around you – just waiting to be found and picked. This cookbook by foraging expert Rachel Lambert combines two of her favourite things – wild plants and sugar.The word has origins in ancient India, but its adoption by Portuguese and British colonisers saw curry reinterpreted in the west to encompass an entire cuisine, prompting many Indians to reject the term outright. In ‘Taste’, Sarah Worth argues that taste is a sense that needs educating, for the real pleasures of eating only come with an understanding of what one really likes. Including jams, ice creams, cookies, cakes, cordials and more, this is a seriously sweet collection of wildly tasty desserts. We already have plans for the next two bakes and wish me luck because they are both tricky (minne and sfogliatelle). Through his step-by-step recipes, Giuseppe guides you through making breads, panna cotta, tiramisù, rum baba, Sicilian cannoli and, of course, pizza, among many other delectable treats.
