Critics Review

‘At Café Cecilia you will find some of the absolute best cooking in London, and I’m greedily grateful for this little gem of a book.’ – Nigella Lawson

‘Producing “honest” food is something I think about a lot. It’s food that doesn’t follow trends or fashions, that doesn’t show off, that comes from the core of the cook. The food, the dining room and the way things are run at Café Cecilia is honest. They are from the soul of Max Rocha.’ – Diana Henry

‘After going to Café Cecilia it was obvious why it was an instant hit. The food was the kind that people want to eat and not a chef preening his ego, the cafe is an extension of Max’s cooking for his family and it comes across in the food. Delicious, simple.’ – Stephen Harris, chef-proprietor of The Sportsman
