Gino’s Italian Express is a celebration of the delicious and authentic local foods Gino discovered on his train travels across beautiful Italy. Each recipe is in Gino's signature easy-to-follow style and perfect for both weeknight suppers and dinner parties alike. Read all This season, Gino is on a train journey through Northern Italy to see its beautiful vistas and cook in fantastic places. And, of course, throughout my travels I sampled the typical foods of each area and enjoyed cooking for all the wonderful people I met. I noticed that lots of ‘quick’ recipes were basic in flavour, so I made it my mission to create recipes that I would serve at a dinner party, but would not take long to prepare and cook.I went on eight journeys in total and all were incredible in completely different ways – we travelled through spectacular mountain passes and rolling valleys and vineyards, alongside glistening lakes and sparkling coastlines, past pretty fishing villages and straight into major city centres.

Gino is the author of several best-selling books including Gino's Healthy Italian for Less, Gino's Italian Coastal Escape, Gino's Italian Escape and Gino's Italian Adriatic Escape and Gino's Hidden Italy. He then takes a trip to the picturesque orchards nearby, and picks some succulent red cherries that inspire him to create a tiramisu with a contemporary twist. With all the recipes from Gino’s major ITV series, including Italian Sausage and Beans with Garlic Ciabatta, Farfalle with Mushrooms and Spinach, and Lemon Tiramisu with Limoncello, this is the must have cookbook for anyone dreaming of a taste of Italy at home. Born in Torre del Greco, Naples, in Southern Italy, Gino D’Acampo inherited his grandfather Giovanni’s love and passion for cooking.

However, this time I was asked to take a tour of Northern Italy by train for a new TV series and I jumped at the chance, as I hadn’t been on a train for 15 years. Sometimes I adapted the recipes, either to give them my own twist, or to ensure the ingredients were widely available outside Italy.
