Recipes that are a joy to prepare and to polish off. They’ve bottled up the Padella magic and made it available to us all. Complimenti! * Yotam Ottolenghi *
Even in food-stuffed Borough, Padella stands out. You’ll find me in a corner with an expression of glazed lust, hoovering up worms of pici like a deranged cuckoo. And I’ll have already put in an order for a second plateful. * Marina O'Loughlin, Guardian *
Probably the best pasta in London * A.A. Gill, Sunday Times *
It’s a formula that should be everywhere, but is actually rarer than hen’s teeth. * Grace Dent, Evening Standard *
Tim has taken the Italian approach to heart and you see that in all the food he creates. It’s nothing short of a joy. . . Every recipe has heart and soul, whether it’s a quick everyday pasta or something a bit more decadent and special. . . Not just a beautiful food experience, but also an exciting one. * Jamie Oliver *
The infectious charm of this singular cook is found on every page in every dish of pasta served with the accompanying recipes. Bravo Tim, a joy * Jeremy Lee *
An extremely handsome, useful and inspiring book. Grounded in tradition and the elemental simplicity of pasta but also truly original and thrilling * Rachel Roddy *
Padella offers the best pasta in London, and this book is a must have for every pasta lover around the world * Laura Jackson *
Pure Joy * Keira Knightley *
Pasta dishes that would make any nonna nod in approval. The book is a must-have and Padella is a must-visit * Chris Bianco *
