-
This is a cookbook with the perfect ingredients: Beautiful writing and travel photography by Emiko Davies; amazing food shots by Lauren Bamford and Deb Kaloper; and a brilliant team at Hardie Grant. Kasia Gadecki and I added to this with a collection of marbled papers (a Florentine tradition) used on the cover and chapter openers, along with vintage-style frames that were a deliberate nod to traditional Florence, like Emiko’s recipes. Design Manager, Mark Campbell, had the inspired idea to spray the book block a bright orange, which I love – it really lifts the whole package.
