Reviews
-
"An endlessly varied overview of our culinary history... an hors d'oeuvre to more satisfying topics of history and culture"
Scotland on Sunday
-
"A lively selection"
Guardian
-
"The book is fat with eccentric wit, tips and recipes... there are rich pickings especially among the literary tidbits: Hemingway on fish in the Seine, Chekhov on oysters and - best of all - Pablo Neruda's 'Ode to French Fries'"
The Times
-
"A mouthwatering compendium on food"
Vogue
