Critics Review

‘Whether you are an avid cyclist, a Francophile, a greedy gut, or simply an appreciator of impeccable writing – this book will get you hooked. Felicity Cloake’s Tour de France is a triumph. It is full of greed and wit, jam-packed with priceless practical information, peppered with a sense of adventure and wonder. I love it.’ Yotam Ottolenghi

‘Such a brilliant book, funny, captivating and wonderfully written. I feel like I was packed up in Felicity’s pannier for the ride.’ Anna Jones

‘An evocative, infectious, and at times utterly hilarious adventure that will make every food lover, and even the most lapsed of cyclists, want to jump on their bike, and on a ferry to France, immediately.’ Rosie Birkett

‘Cloake imbues [One More Croissant] with such personality and wit that it makes you wonder if the rest of us have forgotten that writing about food should be fun.’ FT Weekend

‘Her bluffer’s guide to French bread told me more on one page than I’ve learnt frequenting boulangeries in the six years I’ve lived [in France].’ Country Life

‘Funny, entertaining and informative, this is a book that makes you hungry, both for a good meal and for a visit across the Channel.’ Delicious Magazine

‘A gastronomic grand tour’ Red Magazine

‘Pure delight from first page to last, as if Elizabeth David was whispering one ear and MFK Fisher in the other. Felicity Cloake is the perfect travelling companion – curious, funny, philosophical, and, best of all, imperishably greedy. She writes with self-deprecating humour and evocative grace. This is the best kind of travel and food book – It makes you dream of doing the same.’ Matthew Fort

‘A highly entertaining, tough-minded and enchanting book where the spirit of freewheeling travel writing is grounded perfectly with Felicity’s sure-fire recipes. I had great trouble putting it down.’ Caroline Eden
