Critics Review
‘wonderfully extreme’ Independent 23⁄9
I have yet to meet anyone who hasn’t adored this book once they’ve read it. - Nigella Lawson
‘wonderfully extreme’ Independent 23⁄9Gastronomic writing of the highest order, deserving a place alongside Elizabeth David and MFK Fisher. - IndependentHere is a great feast of a volume, a banquet of a book. It is both long and rich, full of intense flavours, new discoveries, unexpected contrasts … Splendid. - Sunday TelegraphLike the best modern-day food writers, Steingarten’s style is a mix of wittily intellectual inquiry and glorious gluttony … Little escapes his scrutiny, humour or delight. - The TimesAbsolutely not to be missed. - Jennifer PatersonAbout The Author
