Gennaro Contaldo's CUCINA

Italian chef, Gennaro Contaldo has been our Citalia Brand Ambassador for over 8 years and over that time he’s shared his Italian recommendations and recipes with us, which we know you love reading just as much as we do. That’s why we’re excited to celebrate the launch of his newest cookbook, CUCINA. 

In April, we were thrilled to offer three lucky winners the chance to win an Italian food bundle including a signed copy of Gennaro’s book. This competition has now closed but terms and conditions can still be found at the bottom of this page.
