## Description

From Athena Calderone, creator of EyeSwoon, here is a spectacularly beautiful cookbook with 100 seasonal recipes for meals as gorgeous as they are delicious―lavishly photographed by Johnny Miller. James Beard Award Winner, Photography “Proves that simple, delicious dishes can look as good as they taste.” ―Adam Rapport, editor in chief, Bon Appétit “Athena’s cooking is as stylish as she is.” ―Laura Brown, editor in chief of InStyle In Cook Beautiful , Athena reveals the secrets to preparing and presenting unforgettable meals. As the voice and curator behind EyeSwoon, an online lifestyle destination for food, entertaining, fashion, and interior design, Athena cooks with top chefs, hosts incredible dinners, and designs stunning tablescapes, while emphasizing the importance of balancing the visual elements of each dish with incredible flavors. In her debut cookbook, she finally shows the rest of us how to achieve her impeccable yet approachable cooking style. Included are 100 recipes with step-by-step advice on everything from prep to presentation, from artfully layering a peach and burrata salad to searing a perfect steak. Recipes include: Grilled Zucchini Flatbread with Ramp-Pistachio Pesto Charred Eggplant with Zaatar and Yogurt Tahini Mezzi Rigatoni with Radicchio and Guanciale Stewed Pork with Squash and Walnut Gremolata Blood Orange Bundt Cake with Orange Bitters Glaze And dozens more! Organized by season, each section closes with a tablescape inspired by nature, along with specific table décor and entertaining tips. Cook Beautiful is where design meets food, where culinary tradition marries food styling, where home chefs become experts. These are luscious dishes to make for friends and family, with advice that will inspire you to create visually stunning, and still wholly delicious, culinary masterpieces.

Review: Gorgeous, delicious food from eyeswoon's Athena Calderone - This is a really beautiful cookbook, which is not surprising for one who is a frequent visitor to the author, Athena Calderone's, blog, "eyeswoon." As well it should be no surprise that her ability to mix simplicity with good taste in home design also extends to simplicity with good taste in food. Even though I had already made many of the recipes in the book, I had to get the book mainly because 1.) I knew it would be beautiful (it is) and 2.) because there are so many recipes in it that I have made over and over again. Adding to the recipes in the book is a "swoon tip" for enhancing each recipe for taste or visual pleasure. The first recipe of hers that I ever made was the Orecchiette with Kale, Fennel and Sausage. I've made it so many times because it quickly became a favorite in my house. The Spinach and Goat Cheese Frittata is a really nice light dinner or lunch. The Summer Squash Salad with Arugula and Feta is an exceptional way to use up the massive amount of zucchini that friends seem to gift everyone with at the end of summer. The Fish Tacos are also very good as is the Grilled Rib-eye with Burst Tomatoes and Chimichurri. Some of my favorite recipes are for desserts. I only make them for special occasions at home or when I have friends over for dinner, and I am of the belief that the end of a meal should be so good that my guests leave with a lasting memory of it which is often the case with Calderone's desserts. The Peach and Blackberry Crostatas are wonderful as is the Butterscotch Pots de Creme, which instantly became my husband's requested substitute for birthday cakes. The Lime and Raspberry Tart is also fantastic for those, like me, who love tart desserts. I have made a few more that are not in the book, but if the best from the blog are the ones on the book, I can't wait to try them all. Another thing about the book is that the recipes are arranged by season. I love cooking seasonal recipes because that is, of course, when the ingredients are at their peak. I have no hesitations about recommending this book at all!
Review: Awesome book!! - This is a gorgeous book filled with awesome recipes. I gifted myself but wouldn’t hesitate to gift to any foodie! 👍🏻👍🏻

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never thought a cookbook could be so stylish! Loving this book!
*by K***C on July 22, 2020*

I've never been into cooking but this book has opened up a world of flavors and beautiful gatherings for me. Initially I got into Athena's blog for the interior design but her beautifully presented salads hooked me in. I went ahead and bought her cookbook! I wish some of her other desserts and salads made it into her book but I am still in love! I really really appreciate the nice big beautiful photos of each recipe as I like to look at what I am making. Personally, I like recipes that aren't drenched in sauce, but rather, accentuates the ingredients which this cookbook does. There are some clean dishes, and some not so clean that require the butter and sugar. One bad reviewer thought this book would provide more tips on how to make a dish more beautiful, which would have been really cool...but I think that's why she has a great photo of each dish so that people can emulate it. She also offers a swoon tip at the bottom of each recipe with minor tips about the look or taste.. and some fun table styling tips between each section of the book. The recipes aren't perfect by no means (my husband isn't into it as much as me)... but you can adjust the fruit and other ingredients to make it your own!
