Truly comforting food is as enjoyable to prepare and cook as it is to eat, and the recipes in this beautiful and stylish book will relax and nurture all of the senses.
Maxine Clark is a leading food writer and a gifted cooking teacher. She has taught in well-known cooking schools, such as Leith's in London, and has taught at Alistair Little's Tasting Places in Sicily and Tuscany. While in Italy, she has collected recipes that best display its strong and sunny flavors, and teaches them to students from all over the world. Her work regularly appears in magazines and newspapers such as 'BBC Good Food' and 'Food and Travel.'
As the first recipe book I've purchased, I love this book but some of the ingredients are expensive. In particular is the steak and mushroom with herby suet crust. The writer does a really cool job of making cooking look romantic with her writing in between the chapters so you can read this without needing to cook too. I like the themes.
