Gennaro Contaldo, Italian chef and author

"I was dropped in the kitchen when I was ten, and I never come out" - Gennaro Contaldo

On Italian chef, Gennaro Contaldo's menu: mum's Spaghetti con Pomodoro, mushroom foraging with the one and only Antonio Carluccio, topped off by some delicious Agrodolce on a mountainside with Jamie Oliver.

Sides include prize-winning trout, pharmacy only olive oil, and a saintly encounter.

Gennaro's social cause is the Antonio Carluccio Foundation which aims to provide resources, training and development needed by disadvantaged young cooks and chefs entering the hospitality industry as well as supporting the work of charities and non-governmental organisations in alleviating hunger worldwide.
