Five stars for the book

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 8 janvier 2023

This is a lovely cookbook that had just the right balance of anecdotes, photos, and recipes for me. I love how it's not only a cookbook, but a culinary guide to Florence. However, I'm annoyed that the new version of the books comes with a permanent strip on the otherwise beautiful hardcover saying "with bonus city guide" and some quotes by Nigella Lawson. Why in the world would the editors think readers would want permanent advertising on their beautiful hardcover cookbooks? The older pale blue version did not seem to have this. Annoying.

So much more than a cookbook, a beautiful narrative weaves through this collection of amazing recipes and photographs.

I received this book and began to read it as soon as I was able to get the packaging open. I have spent some time in Florence and pre-ordered this book as soon as I learned about it last January.
First, the book itself is gorgeous. I appreciate the hard cover and the lack of a dust jacket. Why? Because the dust jacket just gets in the way, gets torn on the edges, and is generally useless on a cookbook. So, kudos to the author and designer for getting that right!
Second, the design and quality of the book is impressive. The pages are thick and the binding seems that it will remain intact for years of use and cooking in the kitchen.
The book is divided into six main sections: La Pasticceria (Pastry Shop), Il Forno (Bakery), Il Mercato (Market), La Trattoria. Il Maccellaio (The Butcher) and In Giro (out and about).
The main sections have around a dozen recipes each (a couple more for most sections) and the In Giro chapter is wonderful, as it includes recipes for many of the delightful street foods that one can find in Florence. The reader should be cautioned that some ingredients will not be available in your local supermarket, such as the delicious abomasum tripe for a lamprodetto panino, however they can be found online if you are diligent with your searches.
I found the recipes to be written very clearly, with weights in grams (and even ounces!) given where appropriate. Most recipes are accompanied by gorgeous picture of the finished dish, and often several steps of the preparation are shown in beautiful photographs. This is exceedingly helpful in the pastry section, where a picture is worth a thousand words.
Most importantly, I find the greatest thing about this book is it's authenticity. The recipes seem right out of a Florentine kitchen, with simple steps and usually not too many complex ingredient preparation procedures. The recipes are truly representative of the food in Florence, without any unnecessary complications introduced for the sake of making something more "fancy." Don't be mistaken, these recipes will impress! But they are accessible to the home cook. I've slaved over the recipes of Keller and Nobu, and while they have their merit, the recipes in Ms. Davies book make you want to jump into the kitchen and start cooking, not dread the ingredient shopping, prep, or days before a finished product emerges. The book is inviting.
Also, this book is more than a cookbook. Much, much more. It is written beautifully and tells a story of Florence through its history of both people and food. The way the narrative weaves through each section really provides insight into the magical city of Florence, and the author shares some secrets that you will not find in any guidebook nor on any website I have encountered. Who knew that the best time for pastries was after dark? The narrative is highlighted by an impressive collection of black and white and color photos that captivate the reader. I wish I could get some of those black and white photos enlarged to hang on the wall - they took me back to my trips to Florence, and motivated me to head back next year!

All in all, the book is a masterpiece that really reflects the city of Florence, through the amazing collection of recipes as well as the story the book tells. Be warned this is not just a cookbook that you will use to look up and follow a recipe from - It is one you will sit down and READ. It is so much more than a cookbook, with personal stories, history and gorgeous photos throughout. This book would be a great gift for anyone who enjoys Italian cooking or has been to or is planning to visit Florence. The book even ends with a short section containing some addresses of great places to stop to eat or shop while visiting this gem in Tuscany. It has become a favorite in my collection, and is just flat out a great read!

Marvellous book

This publication has a tremendous reading appeal as not only it serves as a recipe book but it also takes the reader on a journey through Florence, its history and its quirky side streets which mostly the locals are familiar with. It contains great photographs and detailed picture tutorials of many delicious Florentine dishes. The book is nicely designed and has a modern twist to it, as well as a hard cover. I highly recommend it also as a gift for others. I now intend to buy the other book by the very talented Emiko Davies.

I love this book and I can't thank my friend enough for recommending it to me. I have been living on the outerskirts of florence, next to my in laws for 9 years and I've picked up very little from my mother in law, who is a great cook but terrible teacher! Finally with this book I am cooking delicious Florentine recipes, my husband has even said that he prefers my Pasta with Duck to his mother's...RESULT!!! I love the Pear and Chocolate cake and also I can NOW make Icecream :-P . It's now spring and I'm looking forward to trying out the salads and lighter dishes. Last but not least...I love the way this cook book was written, with a story behind ever dish and places to check out when I go into town. I'm so happy to recommend this book, I know whoever buys it won't be disappointed!

This book is absolutely brilliant! I've made so many of the recipes and every single one has been a hit and they all transport us straight back to Tuscany. The photos and descriptions are stunning. Definitely one of my most used cookbooks!

Upside down and backwards

Great content. Many items here I’ve had in Firenze. Great book for those who’ve lived here or spent time eating the regional dishes. However, the content was backwards of the cover and upside down. Will return.

A wonderful book

A wonderful book. Emiko manages to weave stories, Florentine history and culture, and really splendid recipes together beautifully. It is also a handsome book, that is lovely to touch and hold. On a practical note, I have cooked from Emiko's blog and column for years, and know her to be a meticulous and reliable recipe writer - following her recipes is rather like having a friend in the kitchen. Having read the book cover to cover and dotted it with post its, I am now excited about taking Florentine into my kitchen.
