Antonio Carluccio is a larger-than-life character who, over his fifty-year career, has inspired thousands of people with his no-fuss Italian cooking and passion for good food and wine. But behind the famous name is a man whose life has been full of unexpected twists and turns, joy and sadness, love and loss.
Despite his success, Antonio has never forgotten his humble beginnings or the women, who next to food, have been the biggest influence on his life. This book moves from his early years, including his first experience cooking simple suppers on a two-ring stove, to his unplanned meteoric rise to fame as the founder of one of the UK's most prominent restaurant brands, prolific author and successful television presenter. Brimming with vibrant anecdotes as well as photographs from his personal collection, this is Antonio's moving and honest account of his life so far.
