I happen to love preparing it, I love eating it, I love sharing it. I cannot stand cookbooks that don't have pictures. You want to have evidence that this is going to be delicious. I love Giorgio's book because where there's a recipe, there's a picture of it. It's full of his love of food, the various taste sensations he's experienced throughout his life, recipes, and pages of ingredients. I actually know this family, but that aside, this genuinely is one of my favorite books. Giorgio talks you through the stages of making something in a way that's incredibly coherent and easy to follow- Kate Winslet
