Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Nikole Herriott is one half of the creative team, Graydon Herriott alongside Michael Graydon.
Michael was first introduced to photography when as a kid his family spent countless hours in the flickering light of vacation slideshows in the basement. The gift of his fathers’s old Pentax Spotmatic when he was twelve further fanned the spark of Michael’s passion for photography.
He also really, really, loves cats.
Nikole came to photography after a career as a pastry chef and a poli sci degree. She mistakenly thought being a career diplomat meant slow moving fans, wide linen pants and glorious hotel lobbies with potted palms. Turns out, that’s not at all it. ;) She loves grocery stores, citrus trees and swimming in the ocean. Her favourite food is dessert.
The two met when Michael was on assignment to photograph Nikole and her online shop, Herriott Grace. After dating for about a year, they found their chemistry extended to a creative partnership as well.
They feel lucky to travel and take pictures together and call it a job. Though most times, it doesn't feel much like work at all.

Cool and original

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 November 2019

Despite what another reviewer has written, this is the UK edition of the book, with UK measurements. The publisher has just used sample pages from the American edition here, which they should really fix to avoid further confusion...

My copy arrived today and I’m absolutely in love with it already - beautiful design, super-cool saturated photography and really tempting, appealing recipes. I’m vegetarian and there’s plenty for me, and I might sub out the anchovies on a few others. I definitely see what all the fuss is about with Alison Roman!

(Almost) Perfect.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 November 2019

Disclaimer: I'm a long time (at least from a millenial's point of view) Roman's fangirl. I think she is the coolest person that walked the food world and I would buy her books for the witty observations and footones only.
So I'm obviously biased, that's my point. Nothing fancy was probably the only book that I pre-ordered as soon as it was possible to do so (and as soon as I made sure that I was buying the UK/AUS version of it - seriously what's the deal with cups???).
When I finally got it, I read it from cover to cover and the writing didn't disappoint (which was a given, I guess).

Now on to the book itself: as a fangirl I'm used to Roman's love for anchovies, bold flavors and loads of citrus or tangy notes. If that's not your thing, you might want to pick another book.
I'm not sure if I love the "entertaining" theme (although I really really dig her "snacks" section and all the "parties"): because of it most of the recipes are build for at least 4 people (this is obviously not wrong, it just makes annoying when you're only entertaining two people). I was also not very excited by the choices on "meals", because I found that they're a bit on repetitive side (I don't really need 4 different ways to make chicken on the same book). My biggest let down, sadly, was on the dessert section though: she kind of stuck to (old fashion) classics, like tiramisu or (this one killed me) pannacotta. I mean, sure they have a tweak or two, but not even Roman will convince me to serve anyone (starting with myself) a pannacotta. For all these reasons I'm only giving it 4 stars. Everything else is glossy, beautiful and genius (and that garlic and anchovies bread is reason enough to buy the book).

Fussy and fancy, but beautiful, food

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book a few months ago expecting easier recipes that could help me with the panic I feel when hosting guests. Dinner parties are very expensive, very overwhelming situations for me so I thought that this would be perfect. Unfortunately the recipes are very time consuming and use a lot of interesting products and produce -- which, while great for the aesthetics of the meal, isn't good for my wallet. There are also a lot of steps with the recipes. I still haven't made a single dish from the cookbook, despite owning it for several months. There's some helpful advice in it, but not worth buying a cookbook for.

Fun cookery book

Alison Roman talks about food like a normal person would. There's not too much flair, it's good cooking and written so well you'll be able to make anything. The cookies are a must try.

Unbalanced Flavor Profile

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 29 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I find reviews that mention how entertaining a cookbook is without actually having attempted any of the recipes completely useless. So I'm leaving my two cents after actually making some of these dishes.

I made the "Salmon with Soy and Citrusy Charred Scallions" the flavor combinations are intriguing but unbalanced. The combination of lemon/lime zest + juice + orange juice made this extremely acidic. Even when poured over salmon and served with rice your lips pucker from the amount of acid. It definitely needed something sweet, honey or mirin, something to help counter balance the amount of citrus in the recipe.

The second dish I made was the braised brisket with caramelized honey and garlic. When you add the star anise, onion, garlic, ginger, chili, bay leaves and cinnamon stick to the caramelized honey the aroma is incredible. But unfortunately none of those flavors are even detectable in the dish. Using 4 cups of beef broth + 1 1/4 cups of soy sauce + 2 Tbsp of fish sauce made this a wet salty disaster. The remaining braising liquid is completely inedible and ended up having to be tossed, which is a shame, the taste fell far short of what the initial aroma promised.

I followed the overnight focaccia recipe to a T and ended up with an over proofed dough that lost it's elasticity and chewiness.

I'm going to have to keep the book....my son poured his milk all over it. Otherwise this would be going back.
