Originally from Abruzzo, a small region of Italy that is rich in culinary tradition, Danilo was the Head Chef of the Italian Embassy in London from 2012 to 2021. He is now their Event Consultant.<\/p>\n

Before arriving at the Embassy, Danilo trained at Michelin-star level both in Italy, at restaurant San Domenico in Imola and Perbellini near Verona, then in London with three Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester.<\/p>\n

More recently, Danilo took part in MasterChef: The Professionals, fighting his way to the top and ranking as one of the finalists, and appeared on BBC1\u2019s live cooking show Saturday Kitchen.<\/p>\n

After publishing his first cookbook called ‘4 Grosvenor Square, The menu of the Italian Embassy in London’ Danilo has returned to his roots and is on a mission to share with the British public as many simple & traditional Italian recipes, made with wholesome ingredients, as he can!<\/p>\n

He has founded his London based catering and events company, TIRAMISOO EVENTS to spread Italian flair and culinary culture<\/p>\n

THE COOKBOOK BY DANILO CORTELLINI PRESENTED BY THE COOK DOWN<\/p>\n

After his debut cook book \u20184 Grosvenor Square\u2019 released in 2016, Danilo decided to challenge and develop some of his mum\u2019s classic recipes from his home region of Abruzzo in central Italy. For each dish, there\u2019s the recipe for both the original, and Danilo\u2019s reinterpretation (as well as a few of Mamma\u2019s classics he\u2019d never touch!)
\n\u00a31 from every sale of this recipe collection is donated to EMERGENCY, a charity with roots in Italy chosen by Danilo. It provides free, high-quality healthcare to victims of war, poverty and landmines, alongside building hospitals and training local medical staff. To find out more or give an extra donation head to emergencyuk.org.<\/a>
