"This is the food I cook for my friends, my customers and my family. It's the food I love to cook for the people I love to be with." – Guy MirabellaGuy Mirabella is a man of many passions. The way he cooks and writes about food is a reflection of them all: art, design, film, travel, music, his Sicilian heritage and his family. Known as an author, a cook and a book designer, Guy's books are a gorgeous and original cornucopia of food, produce, flavours, paintings and colour, and Hungry is no exception. Hungry is a lavish tribute to the food and spirit of generosity with which Guy approaches cooking. The recipes are a contemporary take on Italian home-style cooking – the food that Guy makes with so much care at home and at his cafe, where he cooks for the customers he treats like family. From the Savoury Counter choose Broad Beans, Zucchini, Fior de latte and Mint in a fresh salad, or for something more substantial, try the Stuffed Squid bursting with chorizo, quinoa and spices. From the Sweet Counter the elaborate Tutu Trifle is a dramatic statement for any feast with its layers of cream, custard, fruit and Guy's magical "tutu" topping.Hungry will delight. It is a cookbook with a difference, one to savour and inspire, full of warmth, beauty, and of delicious dishes to cook for the people you love.
