""The book is well-named: Stephanie Alexander is a chef with the heart of a home-cook, and this book is infused with the warmth of the kitchen. And it is so much more than a compilation of recipes, wonderful though they all are: it is a reflection on a lifetime's eating and the distillation of a lifetime's wisdom.. . . What else can I say about this delicious book except every home should have one!"" --Nigella Lawson
