About the Author

The master of Italian food, Antonio Carluccio has been cooking, eating and championing Italian food for over 50 years. Born on the Amalfi Coast in the South and raised in the wooded North-West, Antonio has a rare and privileged breadth of culinary knowledge. He moved to London in 1957 and he took over the Neal Street Restaurant in Covent Garden in 1981. In 1991 Antonio opened a deli next to the restaurant and in 1998 started the first Carluccio's Caffè in Market Place, London. After ten years developing the Carluccio's caffè business Antonio is no longer a director but continues to work with the Carluccio's team on menu development and chef training whilst also concentrating on new projects.
In 1983 Antonio made his first appearance on BBC 2 talking about Mediterranean food and at the same time was asked to write his first book, An Invitation to Italian Cooking. Subsequently he has written thirteen books, published worldwide and made numerous television programmes including the hugely popular Antonio Carluccio's Northern Italian Feast and Southern Italian Feast.
In 2007 he was awarded an honorary OBE.

Cooking Is Cool:Be Healthy - Be Fit by Valentin Krapf

Description

Bear garlic and spring onions, garden herbs, spring herbs, and granulated bouillon; Grandma’s secret salad spices have finally been made public. Fourteen-year-old Valentin Krapf has just released his cookbook for kids, under the title Cooking is Cool.

‘Kids are lazy, and many of them call on their help to make them sandwiches when the kitchen is one metre away!’ claims an indignant Krapf. The book has a lofty goal: to become a key ingredient in the Abu Dhabi Master Plan 2030, by encouraging children to be more active, more involved, and to take responsibility for their own health, because lazy kids can’t be bothered to make a brighter future.

‘Children in Germany and the UAE are the same,’ says the young chef, who proceeds to lecture us on childhood obesity and the dangers of junk food. ‘You have so many goodies here; do you know that mangos cost five euros in Germany? Here they cost less than a dirham.’ And Valentin’s fruit salad recipe, entitled Mangos, mangos, mangos, makes full use of our city’s supply of cheap produce.

Cooking is Cool encourages kids to prepare snacks that replace crisps, fruit smoothies that replace ice cream, and quick salads with grilled meat and chicken instead of fried foods. But the book is only the beginning, with the help of his mother – who insists on being called Umm Valentin – the teen entrepreneur plans to hold multiple cooking classes for kids, and raise awareness both in Germany and the UAE: ‘The UAE is my second home, and I care about my friends here a lot,’ he assures us.

Stews and casseroles are among the most comforting of winter foods and the most forgiving; once you've done the preliminary preparation, they'll happily cook by themselves. Most of them also freeze well (the exceptions are seafood and some vegetable stews) so you can cook a big batch at one time and know that, after a quick defrost in the microwave, you'll have a delicious warming dinner waiting for you when you get home. Seafood stews and vegetable stews feature here along with the more traditional beef, lamb, veal, chicken and duck.
