Giuseppe Dell'Anno's Storecupboard

These are the Sous Chef ingredients Giuseppe keeps in his storecupboard. Giuseppe Dell'Anno captured hearts across Britain when he won The Great British Bake Off in 2021, but his story begins long before the famous tent. Growing up in Italy, Giuseppe learned to bake at the side of his chef-father, absorbing generations of traditional techniques and regional specialties.

His debut cookbook "Giuseppe's Italian Bakes" is a masterclass in authentic Italian baking, from perfect focaccia to delicate amaretti. Giuseppe doesn't just share recipes - he shares the knowledge passed down through his family, explaining the why behind each technique so you understand the craft, not just the method.

What makes Giuseppe special is his ability to take classic Italian bakes and add his own thoughtful touches without losing their soul. His approach is both respectful of tradition and refreshingly personal. Whether you're making your first pizza dough or perfecting cannoli, Giuseppe guides you with the patience of someone who truly loves teaching.

As Diana Henry noted, these are "recipes that work" - the highest praise any cookbook can receive.
