A Slice of Cherry Pie [Hardcover]

Julia Parsons (Author)

Book Description

Release date: November 8, 2010

In the vein of Julie and Julia and Chocolate and Zucchini, a talented British food blogger's debut cookbook

 

Named by the Times as one of the 50 best food blogs and one of the top 10 blogs for the home cook, A Slice of Cherry Pie has been faithfully reworked from a blog with a large and loyal following into a beautiful cookbook. Julia's writing interweaves food with beautifully composed evocations of the places, people, and memories which inform her recipe creations--a mix of modern rustic dishes inspired and inflected by a love of eating and sharing. A stunning backdrop of arresting food photography and assemblies of text montages, family snapshots, and the author's own photographs provide a perfectly balanced visual echo to an assured and passionate voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Slice of Home July 11, 2011

By Peter Cogan

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

As an ex-pat I miss the food of my youth. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Shepherds pie, Gammon and Scotch eggs. Not only do you get all of those in this book but so many other recipes that tantalize the taste buds.
What I love about this book is the recipes are easy to follow, the photography is great and you get some wonderful stories and background information.
This book is ideal for cooks of all ages and skill levels, you will have so much fun trying to decide what to make first!
