friederike from Berlin,

I always thought that this was the first book combining cooking with beautiful photos and a narrative in such a way that you can completely forget that you're holding a cookbook in your hands. I might be entirely wrong about this, of course, however, in my eyes this has always been a book that set the standard for other books to follow.
Tessa Kiros introduces us to her colourful family, her Finnish mother and her family, her Greek-Cypriotic father and his family, and her Italian husband, and tells us about living in South Africa for some years. The photos are fantastic, and the way she tells her story really makes you think you've been there all along with her. Or at least that you're leafing through her personal, hand-written notes.
