"This book isn’t only about sugar-free, allergen-free cooking and baking. It’s about sharing the recipes that I love and use all the time. Recipes that can be more flexible, to incorporate local produce or adapt to different dietary needs. Some of these recipes are family traditions or meant for special occasions, and some are much newer, but they are recipes that I come back to time after time. This is our story told from a place we all love at home - the kitchen. My advice is to not be afraid experimenting. Once in a while, you may have to start over, but more likely you’ll come up with something different and ... |

"For a person to write a book like this, he has to love art, passionately and selflessly, and to love, of course, the artist as well. The author possesses these qualities in full measure. But even with the love, enthusiasm, and admiration that permeate the entire book, it in no way amounts to a glorification, veneration, or canonization of Zlatyu Boyadzhiev’s image. Quite the opposite - the author has succeeded in keeping a necessary distance, allowing him the opportunity to combine an up-close and a distant view of the artist. He doesn’t carve a monument, he doesn’t paint an icon; rather, he presents a dynamic image, ... |
