Luca Dotti – лучшие книги

Enter Audrey Hepburn's private world in this unique 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correspondence, drawings, and recipes for her favorite dishes written in her own hand, and more than 250 previously unpublished personal family photographs.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 a la Cuillere-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.

Odkryj prywatny świat Audrey Hepburn w niezwykłej bestsellerowej biografii napisanej przez syna aktorki!
Dziecięce wspomnienia, rodzinne anegdoty, cytaty z prywatnych listów, rysunki, skrupulatnie spisywane i gromadzone przez gwiazdę Hollywood przepisy na ulubione dania, które zapewniły jej doskonałą sylwetkę i przeszło 250 niepublikowanych wcześniej fotografii z domowego archiwum! To wszystko składa się na wyjątkową książkę, którą porównać można jedynie z głośnymi przed kilku laty „Fragmentami” Marilyn Monroe.
Tym bardziej niezwykła to lektura, że ukazuje osobę zupełnie inną niż ekranowa Audrey-trzpiotka, którą wielbiły tłumy. Lucca Dotti tworzy portret spełnionej matki i żony, doskonałej kucharki, wielbicielki domowego ogniska, która gotowa była porzucić czerwony dywan dla rodzinnych kolacji i przyjęć w ogrodzie. Trzon książki stanowią osadzone w rodzinnym kontekście przepisy kulinarne. Są one jednak smakowitym, ale tylko pretekstem, niecodziennym sposobem na bezprecedensowe pokazanie prawdziwego życia legendy kina, poczynając od dzieciństwa spędzonego w Holandii podczas II wojny światowej, przez karierę w Hollywood, życie aktorki, matki i żony w Rzymie, aż po ostatnie lata spędzone na podróżach po świecie w roli ambasadora UNICEF.
„Audrey w domu” to rodzaj intymnego albumu, barwnego patchworku pokazującego świat aktorki i tych, których kochała najbardziej – jej dzieci, przyjaciół, zwierzęta. To wyrafinowana i piękna opowieść, która rozwija się od śniadania do lunchu, od lunchu do kolacji, od kolacji do przyjęcia w ogrodzie. Książka, która pozwala nam zajrzeć do domu Audrey przez dziurkę od klucza.
