New York Times Bestseller Enter Audrey Hepburn's private world in this unique New York Times bestselling biography compiled by her son that combines recollections, anecdotes, excerpts from her personal correspondence, drawings, and recipes for her favorite dishes written in her own hand, and more than 250 previously unpublished personal family photographs. Audrey at Home offers fans an unprecedented look at the legendary star, bringing together the varied aspects of her life through the food she loved--from her childhood in Holland during World War II, to her time in Hollywood as an actress and in Rome as a wife and mother, to her final years as a philanthropist traveling the world for UNICEF. Here are fifty recipes that reflect Audrey's life, set in the context of a specific time, including Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream--a celebration of liberation in Holland at the end of the war; Penne alla Vodka--a favorite home-away-from-home dish in Hollywood; Turkish-style Sea Bass--her romance with and subsequent marriage to Andrea Dotti; Boeuf à la Cuillère--Givenchy's favorite dish, which she'd prepare when he'd visit her in Switzerland; and Mousse au Chocolat--dinner at the White House. Audrey also loved the basics: Spaghetti al Pomodoro was an all-time favorite, particularly when returning home from her travels, as was a dish of good vanilla ice cream. Each recipe is accompanied by step-by-step instructions, including variations and preparation tips, anecdotes about Audrey and her life, and a poignant collection of photographs and memorabilia. Audrey at Home is a personal scrapbook of Audrey's world and the things she loved best--her children, her friends, her pets. It is a life that unfolds through food, photographs, and intimate vignettes in a sophisticated and lovely book that is a must for Audrey Hepburn fans and food lovers.… (altro)

This is "kind of' a biography of Audrey Hepburn, written by her son. The emphasis is on food - the food she grew up with, the food she loved. Plain food, but excellent, that spoke to my farm roots. Home grown tomatoes are stressed. Audrey loved pasta, and why not? She cooked whole fresh tomatoes, onion, carrot, celery, added basil and strained the mixture to remove seeds and peel. The accompanying pictures shows a serving 1/4 the size Americans serve, and a much thinner sauce.
Chocolate cake (to be served with whipped cream) has 5 ingredients - chocolate, milk, butter, eggs and sugar.
Ms. Hepburn grew up in Europe, during WWII, and travelled there intensively as an adult. That serves here as a background to food.
Absolutely a worthwhile read to foodies like me, who love cookbooks. ( )
