Recipes that are a joy to prepare and to polish off. They've bottled up the Padella magic and made it available to us all. Complimenti!

Even in food-stuffed Borough, Padella stands out. You'll find me in a corner with an expression of glazed lust, hoovering up worms of pici like a deranged cuckoo. And I'll have already put in an order for a second plateful.

Probably the best pasta in London

A.A. Gill, Sunday Times

It's a formula that should be everywhere, but is actually rarer than hen's teeth.

Grace Dent, Evening Standard

Tim has taken the Italian approach to heart and you see that in all the food he creates. It's nothing short of a joy. . . Every recipe has heart and soul, whether it's a quick everyday pasta or something a bit more decadent and special. . . Not just a beautiful food experience, but also an exciting one.

Jamie Oliver

An extremely handsome, useful and inspiring book. Grounded in tradition and the elemental simplicity of pasta but also truly original and thrilling
