‘There is no one better to take you on a journey to the beautiful island of Sardinia than Francesco, with his in-depth knowledge of the land, its food and traditions.’ GENNARO CONTALDO ‘There is such a beautiful feeling of home in this book. It's a pure love letter to Italian food. I cannot wait to get this covered in sauce as I have it permanently open on my kitchen side.’ EMILY ENGLISH Live life better with 90 easy, delicious Mediterranean recipes Chef Francesco Mattana aka @our_cookingjourney invites you to discover the rich food culture of Sardinia. He brings together his experiences learning to cook from the women around him and years of teaching experience – including as head teacher chef at Jamie Oliver’s Cookery School – to create over 90 delicious home-cooking recipes, with all the tips and tricks needed to get them right every time.

Find the perfect small bite for your aperitivo hour, stock up your larder with preserves, perfect your pasta and bread-making skills, learn how to entertain the Sardinian way with impressive fish, meat and vegetable dishes and finish it all off with a traditional dolci.
