This is beloved food writer Tessa Kiros's definitive reflection on a lifetime of cooking and eating.

With characteristic generosity of spirit, Tessa invites us into her kitchen to share what she's cooking now: an exciting blend of new discoveries and enduring favourites that connect the threads of her life.

This quintessential collection of more than 150 new recipes is accompanied by Tessa's personal reflections and favourite food memories. Longtime fans will rejoice in her best work yet, and aspiring young cooks will quickly discover how and why she has redefined the modern cookbook.

Part memoir, part travel guide, part food odyssey, Now & Then provides endless inspiration for recipes that reflect Tessa's culinary past, present and future.
