“It is not a recipe book: it is a book of life, of thoughts, of seasons, of living matter.” That is how Leonardo introduces it, and it is worth taking literally: anyone looking for the quantities behind a dish they ate here will not find them.
What they will find is the reasoning that comes first. Where an ingredient comes from, what changes when the season turns, why a balance is respected rather than forced. It is the part of the craft that stays behind the kitchen door in a restaurant, and that for once, across a hundred and ninety-two pages, can be seen.
The volume is large — twenty-one by twenty-eight centimetres, hardback — because the photographs matter as much as the text. Which is the same reason Leonardo’s plates are looked at before they are eaten.
It is written in Italian.
