Audrey at Home - Luca Dotti

Hardback.  Very good condition.  2015

 Audrey at Home offers fans an unprecedented look at the legendary star (compiled by her son), 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.  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.
