Renowned chef Alessandro Pavoni, of Sydney`s two-chef-hatted Ormeggio at the Spit, hails from Lombardy, home to some of Italy`s most famous dishes, including osso bucco, bollito misto & panettone. In his first cookbook Alessandro reveals the secrets to these traditional classics, along with more than 100 of his treasured family recipes featuring Lombardy`s rich produce
- cave-aged cheeses & cured meats, polenta, tender spit-roasted meat & risotto made from rice grown on the plains of the River Po. Having learnt to cook as a boy standing by his Nonna`s side, Alessandro understood, from an early age, the power of food to nourish & bring joy. This passion continues to inspire him to create delicious, comforting dishes that will bring a little bit of Lombardy into your own home.
