In May 2014 this cookbook won 'Best in the World' in the Italian Cuisine category at the 19th International Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Since reaching the semi-finals of the second My Kitchen Rules (Australian TV cooking series) in 2011, popular contestants and cousins Daniela and Stefania developed a reputation for raucous banter and hearty cooking which had them nicknamed as the 'Italian mamas.' Here, they present their mix of traditional and contemporary Italian cooking in their first, much-anticipated cookbook: Saporito Many of the recipes are regional specialties from the Italian village their families came from - traditional Italian cooking in a contemporary context, with fresh ideas. Drawn from years of cooking with their mothers and reflecting their love of family as much as their passion for food, these recipes are quick and easy to make for the whole family. Saporito will show you the true meaning of this Italian word: delicious *** "Beautifully illustrated throughout with the color photography of Craig Kinder... There are delicious dishes for every dining occasion. Thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly', 'Saporito : Daniela & Stefania' is as much fun to simply browse through as it is to plan meals with....will prove an enduringly popular culinary reference and resource." - The Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch, The Cookbook Shelf, September 2013
