Book Reviews of The Passionate Olive: 101 Things to Do with Olive Oil
Book Review: Fantastic informative book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is such a treat and a great gift for any foodie! It is visually beautiful with olive colored text and lovely illustrations. The tips are surprising on how to use olive oil and the long history of olive oil compelling.
I saw the writer speak in the bay area and she was delightful.
She made a great suggestion to bring a copy of The Passionate Olive book(of course) and a bottle of olive oil to your next dinner party.
