" The Family Meal shows that the chef who put [elBulli] on the map knows very well how to appeal to the everyday home chef and to the tastes of the discerning palate. "-- Energy Times, "Deliciously hearty, the recipes in The Family Mealhave nothing to do with the avant-garde for which elBulli is known, and the amply illustrated book explains them in an accessible, storyboard form."--Financial Times Weekend Magazine "Generously illustrated with hundreds of new, specially commissioned photographs, The Family Mealis the book by Ferran Adria everyone has been waiting for!"--Hot Brands, Cool Places "Even if you're more comfortable navigating cobblestone streets in platforms than wielding a microplane in the kitchen, this book will show even the most harried and clueless of cooks how to prepare a simple dinner at home--and, as an unexpected bonus, it will also be a meal that will forever impress guests."--Vogue.com "Wonderful... Good straightforward cooking."--Mark Bittman, The New York Times Magazine "I've never been so excited about such a simple dish (Noodle Soup with Mussels): cooking and eating it crystalized what is unique and wonderful about Mr. Adria's book... I learned an enormous amount about cooking from a master of the trade."--Katy McLaughlin, The Wall Street Journal "This is the type of traditional food Ferran loves."--Jeffrey Steingarten, Vogue "A gem of a cookbook packed with fantastic recipes and tips from a master--the closest most readers will come to eating with him."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Phaidon continues to push the boundaries of cookbook design, and this book employs hundreds of photos and reads like a graphic novel or a collection of the world's most delicious infographics."--Publishers Weekly "Simple, delicious recipes meant for the daily table."--People "Add this one to your kitchen library ASAP."--Splendora.com "Accessible and interesting... Elevating the step-by-step cookbook to a thing of beauty."--Salon.com "Working families - if you add up the costs of frozen dinners and last minute take-out, you'll probably end up healthier and wealthier by submitting to [The Family Meal]."--bigthink.com "Easy to follow and beautiful to look at."--The Independent "Home cooking at its simplest... 31 menus - each with a recipe for a starter, main and pud, with step-by-step photos for each - an old-fashioned idea, but a good one."--Sunday Times "The layout is gorgeous and nostalgically arty... A big, bold monster and an adornment to the kitchen."--The Guardian "Wonderful... Good straightforward cooking."--The New York Times "I can't stop cooking from this book... The only downside is that I had to come to terms with splotching grease on its lovely pages."--The Atlantic "An esteemed colleague once told me that the highest form of intelligence isn't complexity but simplicity... If this is true, then Ferran Adrià's new cookbook, The Family Meal, may be the most effective expression of his genius to date."--The Australian Financial Review "...A refreshingly prosaic approach to food... Not just a collection of recipes but also an instruction manual."--Sydney Morning Herald "Traditional recipes from the master himself."--Omar Allibhoy, founder of the Tapas Revolution chain, Shortlist, "Deliciously hearty, the recipes in The Family Meal have nothing to do with the avant-garde for which elBulli is known, and the amply illustrated book explains them in an accessible, storyboard form."-- Financial Times Weekend Magazine "Generously illustrated with hundreds of new, specially commissioned photographs, The Family Meal is the book by Ferran Adria everyone has been waiting for!"-- Hot Brands, Cool Places "Even if you're more comfortable navigating cobblestone streets in platforms than wielding a microplane in the kitchen, this book will show even the most harried and clueless of cooks how to prepare a simple dinner at home--and, as an unexpected bonus, it will also be a meal that will forever impress guests."-- Vogue.com "Wonderful...

Synopsis
While Ferran Adrià is better known for his innovative and ground breaking gastronomic creations, this highly anticipated new book reveals, for the first time, his secrets for creating delicious, seasonal, and simple home cooked meals. The Family Meal's mouth-watering recipes are inspired by the dishes eaten by the staff of Ferran's restaurant, the legendary elBulli, four-time recipient of the World's Best Restaurant Award. Every day at 6pm, Ferran's team stops what they are doing to sit down to eat a three-course dinner together - this is known as the 'family meal'. Featuring 31 meals (each made up of 3 recipes) and providing the quantities of ingredients needed for servings of 2, 6, 20 and 75 people, this book is a great way to pick up new ideas whether you are cooking at home or in a restaurant.

    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    This 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
