Jamie Cooks Italy By Jamie Oliver (Hardback)

The fresh-faced kid from the River Café, the cheeky-cheery Naked Chef, the campaigner against junk food and its marketing, Jamie Oliver is and has been many things in his glittering career, but here’s Jamie returning to Italy, a part of the world with which he clearly has an affinity, with the latest in a long line of accessible, inspiring cookbooks (and the accompanying TV series, of course). Other cookery titles may end up winning the food writing awards, but this is almost certain to be one of the handful of top selling titles this year.
