There are also ingenious recipes for using up leftovers, with Antonio always remaining budgetconscious. And, of course, all the dishes are completely delicious, for they are Antonio's favourites, employing the basic tenets of the finest Italian cooking: top-quality ingredients prepared simply and served without fuss. The recipes are illustrated with fabulous photography by Alistair Hendy, including several step-by-step sequences.
