TASTE THE BEST WITH ALFA ROMEO

Alfa Romeo, a name that symbolizes Italian passion for cars, has come together with some of Australia’s leading chefs to produce a cook book of recipes that illustrate the Italian passion for food with recipes for the finest modern Italian cooking.

“We believe that Alfa Romeo cars excite more of the senses than most cars, but we have yet to produce an Alfa Romeo that can actually be tasted,” says Kevin Wall, General Manager for Alfa Romeo in Australia. “So we have gathered 12 of Australia’s leading chefs and asked them to illustrate the Italian passion for food with recipes that our owners may cook for themselves before or after an exciting drive in their Alfa Romeos.Alternatively the book provides a list of fine restaurants with which to end a wonderful drive in an Alfa Romeo!”

The chefs who have contributed to “Leading Italian Food by Alfa Romeo” are Joe Camilleri of Mezzaluna; James Kidman of Otto; Darren Simpson of Aqua Luna; Robyn Touchard of Elio; Peter Kuruvita of Flying Fish; Mario Percuoco of Zenith on Booth; Vanessa Martin of Il Piave; Beppi Polese of Beppi’s; Giovanni Pilo of Cala luna; Tim Fisher of Arte Cucina; Danny Russo of L’unico and John O’Riordan of Grappa.

“This book predominantly features NSW chefs, but our aim is work around Australia over coming months,” says Kevin Wall. “We want to provide a showcase for the finest Italian cooking in Australia and to make its enjoyment as easily accessible as owning an Alfa Romeo, whether eating at the featured restaurants or cooking these wonderful meals at home.”

“Leading Italian Food by Alfa Romeo” is available free of charge from all Alfa Romeo dealers in Australia. It is edited by Jill Baynes with Art Direction by Atol Dupuche and it is illustrated with exquisite photography by Malcolm Graves.
