Candid Photos of Antoni with a few Recipes
I want to preface this review by stating that I love Queer Eye and Antoni but this book has me confused. Is it a book of photos of Antoni or is it a cookbook? Where I would have loved to see a photo of the recipe there was a photo of Antoni. There are a lot of recipes in here that I excited to try but I’m a little put off by this book and wouldn’t recommend it to friends.

You should just buy it now. That’s the point of me taking the time to do this review.
It’s beautiful; it’s an accessible cookbook full of dimensional recipes and stunning photography. Antoni’s writing is authentic and sensual, grasping the reader’s attention with it’s sincerity. I love it so much—a few of my friends should be expecting it as a gift. :) I cannot help but share.This man is a gem. A gem of a higher clarity and quality than the damn Heart of the Ocean.Can’t let go of this one, Rose.Antoni should be considered a national treasure. Perhaps guarded in a museum at night.#replacethehopediamondwiththisPorowskiimmediatyamericathanks

Great Style
Yummy recipes with just a few ingredients. Nothing too complicated. He gives you side tips for each.. Feels like you are on the QE show with him and he is teaching you, only not in a mad rush way, like most chefs but relaxed like "hey take your time" Dining tables aren't required. Just beautiful carrots or purple cabbage minus knife tricks. Some food I have never heard of but he tells you what it is and where to get it..beautiful photos and simple pottery. I think I can do this!

A gorgeous food memoir
As a fan of Antoni to begin with, I loved opening up this book and finding that it was more than recipes, but also a thoughtfully curated and intimate look at his life and his relationship with cooking. I can tell he really put his entire heart into the stories he tells with each recipe, and I know from following him on socials for the last two years that he put a LOT of work into testing and creating these recipes. This book is not only a testament to Antoni's cooking ability, but also to his emotional generosity. It's worth picking up, even if just to read and enjoy the narrative.

Not signed.
This review is not on the content of the book, which is amazing by the way, but that it was not signed as the description stated. So disappointed that I purchased this for my 6 year old who loves cooking and Queer Eye (or as she calls them, “the guys that help/love people”), as the signature would have added to how special the book will be to her.

Looking forward to trying so many recipes!
This cookbook is so thoughtful and well put together. The dialogue is helpful and makes you understand the reason Antoni has put the recipe in the book. I love the variation in types of cuisines, and full meals to small plates. I read through last night and am looking forward to cooking and trying so many of these recipes. Beautiful pictures of the recipes as well!

Great, but can’t find Autographs
Really fun and cool cook book, can’t wait to try out some of the recipes but I ordered a signed copy and can’t seem to find the autographs?

Disappointing!
The media could not be loaded. Great cookbook overall, but very disappointed by the lack of Antoni’s topless pictures. Looking forward to his next books — hopefully, “Antoni in the Shower” and “Antoni in the Bedroom”. And a cocktail book because, you know. Thirsty.

A beautiful and inspiring cookbook.
So, I think my new favourite thing in life is listening to Antoni talk about food. He talks about it in such a way that really resonates with Kelly and I. On the show his passion shines through and we love seeing how excited he gets teaching people recipes and inspiring them to cook for and with their loved ones. Food to us has always been happiness. Food for us is full of memories and stories and family history that we want to keep alive. Our Nanna and Grandad's recipes make a good day better and can turn a sad day around and they are what helps keep us connected to them now that they are not here.Just like on the show, you can feel the love throughout this cookbook. From the main introduction to each recipe introduction, you can hear Antoni's voice and feel how special each recipe is. I sat and read each one and made notes of all the recipes I wanted to try first and I couldn't stop smiling. It's rare that Kelly and I stray from dishes that aren't our Nanna and Grandad's when it comes to cooking. We like to experiment with baking but it isn't often that we cook new dishes from a recipe book, but we have felt truly inspired by Antoni's story and passion. Over the weekend we made 'Jonny's Queso Blanco' (minus the chorizo- we haven't been eating meat for a little while now.) We got to experiment with new spices that we never use because, well, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper is our staple. It turned out delicious and we were so excited. Then, yesterday we whipped up 'Chickpea Masala' which was so much fun to make and absolutely gorgeous. It was full of flavour, super simple to make and we ate it while doing our happy food dances.'Antoni in the Kitchen' is more than a cookbook. It's stories, it's memories and it's a beautiful example of how food can bring people together. Sitting around the table with family and friends, cooking with love in your heart, taking care of yourself through what you eat and also looking after others with scrumptious food is one of life's purest joys and to quote our Grandad, "It's easy when you know how," and Antoni's here to show you how.

Perfect as a pupperoni
He's amazing, book is amazing, love the wee anecdotes - the recipes look really tasty, easy enough to follow and super detailed instructions. Credit to the photographer, every photo is gorgeous. Everyone's getting an Antoni in the kitchen christmas present this year (the best present).

Love love love the recipes
I loved watching Queer Eye and remember a series in which he taught a french omelette omg my omelettes have changed forever because of that episode. So when I saw his book coming out I brought it straight away with out hesitation. I loved reading his little bio and even more his recipes. They are so easy to follow and change up a little. I have made at least 5 already and been stunned by the flavours. I would never would have put together or eaten before! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Favourite so far is the baked cauliflower delish! and the dates scummy!!
