“There is a certain freedom in running an Italian restaurant a long way from Italy. We respect Italian traditions, but not when it gets in the way of something better.” - Barry McDonald

 

This is Italian – the Fratelli way. Born out of an admiration for the Italian way of life, Barry McDonald and his family have created a relaxed, irreverent Fratelli Fresh culture via a superbly successful food empire that pays tribute to Italian cuisine.

 

His cookbook, Alla Fratelli: How to Eat Italian, showcases the wonderful recipes from Sydney’s beloved Café Sopra and Fratelli restaurants.

 

It shows us how to cook Italian: fresh and simply; how to shop Italian: seasonally and often; how to eat Italian: make the most of your time at the table with family.

 

 

What could be better than a generous plate of salumi matched with a tricolore salad, followed by a bowl of orrechiette alla Primavera (the taste of spring) finishing with cannoli filled with orange mascarpone and strawberries in Prosecco?

 

Nothing. So mangia mangia!
