Antoni in the Kitchen

Loved Antoni from watching him on Queer Eye and this book definitely captures that same spirit. It is beautifully put together with a great mixture of comfort foods and semi-healthy alternatives. Can't wait to make our way through the recipes!

Great cookbook overall, but very disappointed by the lack of Antoni’s topless pictures. Looking forward to his next books — hopefully, “Antoni in the Shower” and “Antoni in the Bedroom”. And a cocktail book because, you know. Thirsty.

So, I think my new favourite thing in life is listening to Antoni talk about food. He talks about it in such a way that really resonates with Kelly and I. On the show his passion shines through and we love seeing how excited he gets teaching people recipes and inspiring them to cook for and with their loved ones. Food to us has always been happiness. Food for us is full of memories and stories and family history that we want to keep alive. Our Nanna and Grandad's recipes make a good day better and can turn a sad day around and they are what helps keep us connected to them now that they are not here.Just like on the show, you can feel the love throughout this cookbook. From the main introduction to each recipe introduction, you can hear Antoni's voice and feel how special each recipe is. I sat and read each one and made notes of all the recipes I wanted to try first and I couldn't stop smiling. It's rare that Kelly and I stray from dishes that aren't our Nanna and Grandad's when it comes to cooking. We like to experiment with baking but it isn't often that we cook new dishes from a recipe book, but we have felt truly inspired by Antoni's story and passion. Over the weekend we made 'Jonny's Queso Blanco' (minus the chorizo- we haven't been eating meat for a little while now.) We got to experiment with new spices that we never use because, well, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper is our staple. It turned out delicious and we were so excited. Then, yesterday we whipped up 'Chickpea Masala' which was so much fun to make and absolutely gorgeous. It was full of flavour, super simple to make and we ate it while doing our happy food dances.'Antoni in the Kitchen' is more than a cookbook. It's stories, it's memories and it's a beautiful example of how food can bring people together. Sitting around the table with family and friends, cooking with love in your heart, taking care of yourself through what you eat and also looking after others with scrumptious food is one of life's purest joys and to quote our Grandad, "It's easy when you know how," and Antoni's here to show you how.

He's amazing, book is amazing, love the wee anecdotes - the recipes look really tasty, easy enough to follow and super detailed instructions. Credit to the photographer, every photo is gorgeous. Everyone's getting an Antoni in the kitchen christmas present this year (the best present).

I loved watching Queer Eye and remember a series in which he taught a french omelette omg my omelettes have changed forever because of that episode. So when I saw his book coming out I brought it straight away with out hesitation. I loved reading his little bio and even more his recipes. They are so easy to follow and change up a little. I have made at least 5 already and been stunned by the flavours. I would never would have put together or eaten before! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Favourite so far is the baked cauliflower delish! and the dates scummy!!

Arrived in good time and good condition. I bought it as a gift for a friend as she loves Queer Eye. It contains some really good recipes and cooking inspiration!
