The Tournament of Cookbooks — Day 10

In Round 2, Decision 2, Maxwell Ryan, interior designer, author, and founder of Apartment Therapy Media, puts Robicelli’s to the test against The New Persian Kitchen.

“These books are both beautiful on first glance — their covers interesting and delicious-looking — but when you open them up, they’re vastly different. I now believe a good cookbook illuminates the story of the food and the making of it. To me, the story of the cook is much less important.”

— Maxwell Ryan
