New York Times Bestseller
Enter Audrey Hepburn’s private world in this unique New York Times bestselling biography compiled by her son that combines recollections, anecdotes, excerpts from her personal correspondence, drawings, and recipes for her favorite dishes written in her own hand, and more than 250 previously unpublished personal family photographs.
Audrey at Home offers fans an unprecedented look at the legendary star, bringing together the varied aspects of her life through the food she loved—from her childhood in Holland during World War II, to her time in Hollywood as an actress and in Rome as a wife and mother, to her final years as a philanthropist traveling the world for UNICEF.
Here are fifty recipes that reflect Audrey’s life, set in the context of a specific time, including Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream—a celebration of liberation in Holland at the end of the war; Penne alla Vodka—a favorite home-away-from-home dish in Hollywood; Turkish-style Sea Bass—her romance with and subsequent marriage to Andrea Dotti; Boeuf à la Cuillère—Givenchy’s favorite dish, which she’d prepare when he’d visit her in Switzerland; and Mousse au Chocolat—dinner at the White House. Audrey also loved the basics: Spaghetti al Pomodoro was an all-time favorite, particularly when returning home from her travels, as was a dish of good vanilla ice cream. Each recipe is accompanied by step-by-step instructions, including variations and preparation tips, anecdotes about Audrey and her life, and a poignant collection of photographs and memorabilia.
Audrey at Home is a personal scrapbook of Audrey’s world and the things she loved best—her children, her friends, her pets. It is a life that unfolds through food, photographs, and intimate vignettes in a sophisticated and lovely book that is a must for Audrey Hepburn fans and food lovers.

The recipes are interesting/fun, and I am so excited to try them. I love the history and stories that accompany them. With most cases in life, that is what is more important than the recipe itself so it is fun to hear about them. I loved flipping through and seeing all the photographs, as well. This is a beautiful book, tribute, and memoir of life with Audrey from the person who knows her best, and I am so thankful that this was published. I found myself smiling after reading certain paragraphs, and you could really feel her personality behind story that was told. An absolutely wonderful read that I will absolutely continue to read and go back to, and utilize recipes from. Beautiful book.

She was so classy and beautiful and just seemed nice. This was a great book to read and such a wonderful tribute from her son. It pleases me to recommend it and I applaud her son for doing this book for his mother. It is charming and full of delicious recipes, pictures and tidbits about life with Audrey. She was truly a remarkable lady who should be remembered. She did a whole lot more than acting in movies. I am enjoying going over this book repeatedly and slowly. Every son should have such a mother and every mother should have such a son. This book is absolutely delightful - such a treat. Thank you Luca for providing the public this book.
28 of 29 people found the following review helpful. CHARMINGLY REVEALING By Robert Steven Thomas This is a poignantly written look into the private life of legendary actress Audrey Hepburn; through the remembrances of her son. It examines many of her greatest loves in life and fondest memories including her early youth in Europe, major career years and intimate memories of her family, friends, volunteer international retirement and even special occasion food and recipes. I can't imagine how anyone who followed Audrey during her life-time wouldn't find this book significantly warm and engagingly nostalgic.
