Not that easy to apply on to phone screen

Great Italian cooking, very good photos, just a joy to read.

Beautiful

A great range of recipes, the pictures are so well taken, love trying out the recipes. Fab book. Great purchase.

I was waiting for this cookbook for months to come out and pre-ordered it. At first, I was very disappointed by blurry images. Then: a lot of the recipes are published on the blog. Some photos are taken with a smart phone camera (mentioned on the blog) and still used in very poor quality in the book. I do not understand why they couldn't make the effort to just take a prettier, professional photo. The recipes are unfortunately very uninspiring. I expected some old, less established classics but it's a bit of everything without a clear culinary intention and a lot of private story telling. Really a pity. I best like Mimi's first book and adored the blog. This book is not worth the money.
