About the Author
Antonio Carluccio grew up in Northern Italy where the passion for food is rivalled only by the love of good music. After moving to England he ran the famous Neal Street restaurant in London’s Covent Garden, a short walk from the Royal Opera House, where he created a reputation for outstanding cooking in elegant surroundings.
