Jamies Italy is one I use on a regular basis, as well as his first couple of books...

Got a few of antonia Carluccios books, but usually only 2 or 3 decent recipes per book ( his bread & desert ones are great), and Contaldo's first book is good..

Looked at that Chinese made simple (on telly last night) but seemed to be an inordinate amount of ingredients for quite simple dishes...
