If you are looking for a visually stunning cookbook that is filled with mouthwatering recipes, then look no further! What Katie Ate: Recipes and Other Bits and Pieces, by Katie Quinn Davies, is – by far – one of the most beautiful books I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

April 9, 2013 by crayonsandcroissants

Lidia Bastianich’s cookbook Lidia’s Favorite Recipes provides home chefs with the recipes to master Italian cooking. I have long had a bit of a fascination with cookbooks. I love flipping through the pages and staring at the beautiful pictures. I like reading about the author’s inspiration behind the recipes and learning about combing ingredients to make unusual new dishes. I usually imagine myself making these recipes – although in my imagination I am standing in a gourmet chef’s kitchen and […]
