Trullo

Product Information

If you’re only really fussed about replicating the food element, then all you’re going to need is the Black Axe Mangal cookbook. In this, his first cookbook, he presents a British take on Italian cooking, marrying the best of the Italian cuisine together with British produce. Leave the parmesan to sit and melt from the residual heat of the pan – this prevents it from becoming chewy little cheesy balls. While it’s never going to be the same as experiencing high-end service and having your wine poured by someone that knows what they’re talking about, the Trullo cookbook is a great way to get some of Tim Siadatan’s cooking on your dinner table.

Expect a range of recipes from midweek meal ideas to slower dishes, all with clear nutritional information and Jamie’s signature flair.Unsurprisingly, Tim’s first cookbook features an entire chapter on pasta, beginning with invaluable wisdom on the pasta-making process and instructions for making dough. The Jikoni cookbook that’s suitable for any level of skill in the kitchen, just so long as you love to eat delicious food and aren’t afraid of getting stuck in. Chef Lee Tiernan's Highbury restaurant is renowned for its punchy flavours and recipes for dishes like pig’s cheek and prune doughnuts and squid ink flatbread with smoked cod’s roe are just that. A meal at the River Cafe can never be truly replicated in a flatshare in London Fields but using this cookbook to whip up some divine pasta or a pared-back panzanella salad is the best chance you’re going to get, MOB.

It then moves on to recipes including tagliarini with dressed crab and that all-important pici cacio e pepe.Everything from snacky street food favourites like bhel puri to decadent main plates kid goat raan are present and correct with most of the recipes being fairly user-friendly.

This wonderful book would make an excellent gift for those lovers of Italian cooking, and for those that have experienced a sumptuous meal at Trullo or Padella. From creative antipasti and knockout feasts to the bold pasta dishes that inspired Trullo’s sister restaurant Padella, this is food that brings people together. The Momofuku restaurant group is expanding on the daily and this book is a testament to why the food cooked by Chang et al has experienced such vast success.
