A Passion Reborn: Antonio’s Mushroom Book Returns

We’re thrilled to announce that “A Passion for Mushrooms” – one of Antonio Carluccio’s most loved books – is being re-released on 28 August in a completely refreshed edition. Buy it here!

First published in the late 1980s, this book has inspired countless foragers, food lovers and fungi fanatics around the world. Now, it returns with a brand new design, stunning photography, a heartfelt foreword by Giorgio Locatelli, and a special new section celebrating the work of The Antonio Carluccio Foundation.

This reissue is more than just a book. It’s a tribute to Antonio’s enduring love of mushrooms and his lifelong passion for sharing simple, honest food with the world.

We’re proud to say that all royalties from the new edition will go directly to The Foundation, helping us continue Antonio’s mission of nurturing young talent in food and combating food poverty.

You’ll be able to purchase the book directly through the Carluccio’s restaurants and online – we’re working closely with the Carluccio’s restaurants to help spread the word and bring this project to life.

This relaunch means a lot to us, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
