Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Not only is this book beautiful to look at and hold, with great pictures and graphics (some of the pictures are works of art in and of themselves!) and lovely paper, it also has really great recipes, with clear, easy to follow directions. The VERY best part about it for me, though, is the sections running along the edges of each page, where the chef talks about various ingredients in each recipe, and how that ingredient fits in with other things, and how to combine this dish with other dishes and flavors. This is not just a book of recipes, it is a guide to mediterranean cooking in general, and much of it reads like a good novel. You can sit down and just read it, for fun, and when you are finished, you will have an understanding of the flavors and textures of the food, and how to work with them on your own to create meals. It's a great gift (even for yourself!), both beautiful and informative. Even if you have never been to Matthew's restaurant in New York, you'll love this book!
