My Italian Country Childhood: A Chef's Journey from the Hills of Abruzzo to the Heart of Soho - Tapa blanda

With endless enthusiasm, charm and good humour, Zilli transformed the way London restaurants were run - and he soon had every major celebrity flocking to his doors. It hasn't always been easy for him. Along the way Zilli has had to survive prison, divorce, health scares and financial collapse. But now he's a happily married, hands-on father determined to work hard and carry on living life to the full. As irrepressible and mischievous as ever, Aldo Zilli has a heart-warming, hilarious story to share.

Aldo Zilli is chef and owner of Zilli restaurants in Soho. His awards include the 1996 Best Italian Restaurant in the London Restaurant Award, 1998 Best Media Restaurant, and in 2006 he had the Best Cafe.
