Francesco Mattana (@our_cookingjourney) is an Italian chef and online sensation with a large, loyal community that attracts millions of people across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube. Growing up in Sardinia he was surrounded by great home cooks and an appreciation for local and seasonal ingredients and this inspired him to start his own culinary journey. After working in the kitchen in Sardinia, he travelled to Australia where he opened his own highly regarded Italian restaurant in Brisbane called Ajó. In 2017 Francesco moved to the UK to pursue his passion for teaching, working for some of the top cookery schools in London and eventually becoming the head teacher chef at Jamie Oliver's Cookery School. Francesco continues to offer cooking classes and to host events and demos in the UK and in Sardinia, teaching people about authentic Italian and Sardinian food. Eat Like a Sardinian is his first book.

Sardinia captures the true spirit of Mediterranean cooking.

Find the perfect small bite for your aperitivo hour, stock up your larder with preserves, perfect your pasta and bread-making skills, learn how to entertain the Sardinian way with impressive fish, meat and vegetable dishes and finish it all off with a traditional dolci. Who knew healthy living could be so sweet?
