Hilton Malta’s executive chef Joe Vella recently launched his third recipe book entitled A Passion for Cooking.

The section dedicated to desserts include 35 recipes that feature gorgonzola and pecan pie and warm chocolate cake with salted pistacchio parfait and blood orange, among others.

Vella worked his way up in various kitchens, inculding those of the Corinthia Palace, Topaz, and New Dolmen Hotels and for the past 12 years at the Hilton Malta.

Vella said: “The motivation behind the book is sharing with you my passion in creating recipes and conveying my enthusiasm for the art of cooking.

A Passion for Cooking is available from the Hilton Hotel. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to Dar Arka of Gozo.
