About this title

Review:

"Diana’s recipe for her most personal cookbook includes equal parts passion, creativity, and humor, with a soupçon of provocation. I love the way she’s so blunt in her comments about food and the food world, her bêtes noires, in this book―it’s exactly the way we cooks talk to each other in private, and it rarely gets into our books." (

Paula Wolfert, author of The Food of Morocco

)

"Nothing Fancy gives us access to the razor-sharp wit and wisdom of one of the great intuitive cooks of our time. Diana Kennedy knows more than you and me, and perhaps the most important reason is―now, listen up, all you good home and professional cooks―she knows how to use salt, which could hardly be more important. Diana was long ago crowned the queen of the cocina, the uncompromising magician of not only Mexican food but of everything she touches." (

Zak Pelaccio, chef and owner of Fish Game, Hudson, New York, and author of Eat With Your Hands

)

"Diana Kennedy is the most serious food writer in Mexico, but what many people won’t know―until they read this book―is that she’s an extraordinary cook of all sorts of cuisines. Cooking casually with her at home is to know her keen palate and deep understanding of how food works. It’s also great fun." (Gabriela Cámara, chef and owner of Contramar, Mexico City, and Cala, San Francisco)
