Review
'Deliciously hearty, the recipes in The Family Meal have nothing to do with the avant-garde for which elBulli is known, and the amply illustrated book explains them in an accessible, storyboard form.' Financial Times Weekend Magazine; 'Generously illustrated with hundreds of new, specially commissioned photographs, The Family Meal is the book by Ferran Adria everyone has been waiting for!' Hot Brands, Cool Places; 'This book will show even the most harried and clueless of cooks how to prepare a simple dinner at home - and, as an unexpected bonus, it will also be a meal that will forever impress guests.' Vogue.com; 'Wonderful... good straightforward cooking.' The New York Times Magazine; 'I've never been so excited about such a simple dish (Noodle Soup with Mussels): cooking and eating it crystalized what is unique and wonderful about Mr. Adria's book... I learned an enormous amount about cooking from a master of the trade.' Katy McLaughlin, The Wall Street Journal; 'A gem of a cookbook packed with fantastic recipes and tips from a master - the closest most readers will come to eating with him.' Kirkus Reviews; 'Phaidon continues to push the boundaries of cookbook design, and this book employs hundreds of photos and reads like a graphic novel or a collection of the world's most delicious infographics.' Publishers Weekly; 'Simple, delicious recipes meant for the daily table.'People; 'Add this one to your kitchen library ASAP.' Splendora.com; 'Accessible and interesting...elevating the step-by-step cookbook to a thing of beauty' Salon.com; 'Working families - if you add up the costs of frozen dinners and last minute take-out, you'll probably end up healthier and wealthier by submitting to [The Family Meal].' bigthink.com

Format:Hardcover
I received this book a couple of days ago and was curious to open my parcel and go through the recipes.
The this that has surprised me most of all, and what I was not expecting at all, is a step-by-step recipes, in photos! That is definitely not the way I was expecting a "chef's" cookbook to be. I was prepared for huge glossy pictures and minimum of explanations. The kind of book you keep on your bookshelf for inspiration,not for cooking. This on will definitely spend some hours in the kitchen with me.
All the recipes are already grouped in meals, with a time planning on what to cook first to be on time for the dinner, a Sunday dinner, as I don't have 2-3 hours for cooking every day.
And the "cherry on the pie", there are ingredients given for 2 and 6-8 people. No need to re-calculate your ingredients for a dinner for two, or a family meal.
It is a book to keep in the kitchen, definitely!

Fantastically simple, Ferran's recipes are broken down into easy stages leading to the creation of wholesome, sublime meals.
The book is a great tool for anyone wanting to experiment: use them as a confident baseline for your own culinary adventures.
