Recently I have been quite attracted by books that come along with quirky and cute illustrations. They seem to have a charm all on their own, besides the evocative written contexts within. This beautiful book is definitely a charm to read and have, each page brought to life with thoughtful brushstrokes and handwritten recipes.
This delightfully eccentric book is the perfect gift for cooks. The author has written recipes for not only vegetables but also pasta, rice, fish, fruit and more from different parts of her travels.
And her recipes are more than just recipes; each is vibrantly illustrated and accompanied by a story about life and entertaining and what food can - and should - be. The author has written and illustrated a book that is meant to be enjoyed.
Read it. Cook from it. Let the drawings, stories and recipes, inspire you to further invention. But most of all, share it. I'm not really sure if this is available in higher end bookstores as I personally have not seen this book. Even this copy was purchased pre-loved from Facebook. But it was worth the money I spent on this beauty in my ever-expanding collection.
