First of all, I'd like to say that I am not a great cook, but I do love good food. I have been looking for a cook book that has not only good recipes, but that are simple to make yet not too basic. Recipes you can do at home and do for guests and impress them. Food Love and Life definitely fills those requirements and more. Dalia writes as though she is really talking to the reader. You can easily understand the cooking terms - no fancy vocabulary that makes novices like me feel inadequate - and she also adds helpful tips and little anecdotes that personalize each recipe. I have already tried quite a few of the recipes, and they are simply delicious. There is a great balance of types of cuisines and flavors... I especially love the pancake/crepes recipes, the spaghettoni al limone & spicy prawns, the glazed rib roast and the baked goat cheese salad. And the desserts are so tasty and not too complicated.
I am also someone who will not buy a cookbook without pictures. Not only does this book have a picture for every recipe, but they are absolutely gorgeous and yet unpretentious. I highly recommend this book (I've already ordered a couple more as gifts) and it will definitely become a staple cookbook in my kitchen...
