It’ll be available this fall, and if I could sum it up in a simple phrase, it would be this: recipe bible. It’s packed as full as I could get it with all the beloved, most essential (hence the title!) PW recipes, but with a very important twist: Every single one of them has been re-examined, re-worked, re-tested, and turned into an even more sublime and foolproof version of themselves. It has been the hardest cookbook for me to complete because I care about these recipes SO much (I’ve made some of them for thirty years), and I couldn’t seem to stop perfecting, tasting, perfecting, tasting. I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I can’t wait for the pages to be sauce-splattered and dog-eared! Swipe through these photos, which represent just a fraction of the recipes in the book. This cookbook is a love letter to you, to my family, and in many ways, to myself. I hope you love it. ❤️❤️❤️".
