Comfort reading at its absolute finest. I read this book just as quickly as I would gobble up some of the dishes and I will definitely be returning to some of the literary recipes that Nicoletti has created in the near future - if only out of sheer curiosity. Like lots of other reviewers, I just wish there had been a bit more structure to the writing - it feels more like a collection of recipes with short excerpts about their creation rather than an essay collection with recipes - but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Just the thing I needed to read at the moment.
