Storytelling
A cookbook so good it's hard to put down

Didn't expect to actually read a cookbook cover to cover, but this one pulled me in. The writing carries just as much weight as the recipes.

You can hear his voice as you read it

Loved the content, though my copy arrived with a couple of dinged corners from shipping — worth asking for careful packaging when you order.

Basically food art

The photography alone makes it worth having on the shelf, even before you get to the recipes.
