Rugby icon Lawrence Dallaglio shares the secrets of his other great passion: Italian family food in this gorgeous family coobook

 Former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio and his father, Vincenzo, share a passion for real Italian food and regularly cook together for their extended family. Vincenzo passed on his love of cooking to his son and Lawrence learned how to cook by sitting on the kitchen counter watching his father prepare, taste and adjust flavours. Now it’s his turn to pass on the old family recipes to his own children. So, with the help of the Italian food company Sacla’, Lawrence and Vincenzo have produced this stunning family cookbook.

In this fabulous book the two families – Sacla’ and Dallaglio share their favourite Italian recipes. All the dishes are full of goodness, easy to prepare and use the very best ingredients. From Risotto Primavera and Bruschetta di Vincenzo to Crespoline al Prosciutto e Ricotta and Tiramisu, there are dishes for all occasions that capture the traditional Italian way of eating and enjoying food.

My Italian Family Cookbook combines the best ingredients with simple, wholesome family recipes and celebtrates the joy of cooking and sharing food as a family.

 “My Dad and I have always wanted to create the ultimate Italian family cookbook, sharing our passion, our love of cooking great food with fresh ingredients and of course our treasured family recipes. Sacla’ are now a part of our family, coming from Piedmont in Italy as we do, where they still make all their delicious products including our range, Dallaglio by Sacla’ Pasta sauces.

You will see from the book how much fun we had cooking and perfecting these recipes– the three generations of the Dallaglio family, me, my Dad and Enzo, my son. We just hope families will enjoy making them as much as we do. For us this is a little dream come true and a chance to share some of our recipes and real Italian heritage’. LAWRENCE DALLAGLIO
