De kleur van smaak door Frank Brigtsen

I'd been waiting years for this book and it didn't disappoint—the "Frankisms" sprinkled throughout make it feel like he's right there in the kitchen with you. The recipes are genuinely approachable, and I've already cooked three dishes that turned out better than anything from my usual rotation.

The photography alone is worth the price—every page makes you want to cook immediately. I've already dog-eared half the recipes, and the "Frankisms" sprinkled throughout are a delight. This one's going to be a permanent fixture on my kitchen counter.

Finally a cookbook that reads like you're sitting in the chef's kitchen—the "Frankisms" sprinkled between recipes make it feel personal. Already flagged the gumbo as my first attempt this weekend.
