Baking has always been Gennaro's passion. As a young boy, he would spend hours at his uncle's bakery just watching as he mixed, kneaded, pulled, shaped and baked, pushing and turning loaves in and out of his big wood-fired oven. In his new book, Gennaro shares a selection of his favourite easy to create recipes for delicious bakes which can be found in a typical Italian bakery. From Parmesan Breadsticks and Pumpkin Bread, Focaccia, Pizza and Brioche, to Jam Tarts and Biscotti; bring back the joy of home baking and those heavenly baking aromas with these irresistible recipes just like Nonna used to make.

Born in Minori on the Amalfi Coast, Gennaro's quintessentially Italian spirit and positive nature has made him a TV favourite. He regularly appears on BBC's Saturday Kitchen and other shows, as well as his own TV series, Two Greedy Italians on BBC2. Gennaro is currently involved in the Jamie Oliver restaurant chain, Jamie's Italian, where he creates the dishes and trains the chefs nationwide and abroad. He has authored more than seven cookbooks, has his own YouTube food channel, and is an ambassador for Citalia and Bertolli. He lives in east London with his wife and two daughters.
