Daily Italian gathers together Tobie Puttock's favourite Italian recipes, dishes he has discovered, reinvented and perfected while working as a chef in some of the world's great Italian restaurants. Tobie's yen for simple food made from the best and freshest ingredients is evident on every page, as is his philosophy that a recipe is a blueprint, the point from which the creative cook at home can begin to explore and craft a dish based on personal taste, ability and dietary preference. This simple, edgy and energetic cookbook rewrites some rules and ignores others. But however far it pushes the boundaries of tradition, it sticks closely to the guiding principles of Italian cuisine: that cooking is, if nothing else, an act of love.
