What Katie Ate: Recipes and Other Bits and Pieces

This book was first brought to my attention at Beth Fish Reads. Such a beautiful book with photos to jump start your appetite while you marvel at the aesthetically pleasing presentations. The format is very unique and is a pictorial journal styling. It’s gorgeous.

Katie Quinn Davies isn’t a trained chef, she is a graphic artist. Combine those talents with someone who loves to cook for people she loves and you get this book. Dublin born and married to an Australian, Katie has created a web site and book sharing her international styling and recipes.

Of all the cool recipes here what I wanted to try most was kangaroo. Now, I hear you can purchase kangaroo meat from a place ion Jacksonville but if I ever eat it, I want to be in the Land show more Down Under to enjoy an authentic and fresh dish.

The book is broken down into: Introduction, Tips & Tricks, Breakfasts, Lunches, Salads, Canapes &amp, Drinks, Dinners, Sides & Sauces and Desserts. So many recipes to choose from.

Shepherd’s Pie is always a winner for us. It’s preferable to serve in cooler months but that doesn’t stop us from having it in summer months (and cranking the A/C). show less

One of the most beautiful cookbooks I've ever seen. the recipes are all rich and deliciously spiced, but it is the photography and the page layout that took my breath away.
The Guinness Meat Pie, which I made vegetarian was so delightful my guests asked for the recipe.

Ein wunderschönes Koch-Lese-Fotobuch. Dem Buch merkt man an, dass hier eine Grafikdesignerin am Werk war. Die Bilder lassen einem das Wasser im Mund zusammen laufen - zum praktischen Test bin ich jedoch bislang noch nicht gekommen.
