Rachel Roddy describing how to boil potatoes would inspire me. I want to live under her kitchen table. There are very, very few who possess such a supremely uncluttered culinary voice as hers, just now. - Simon Hopkinson
Rachel Roddy’s writing is as absorbing as any novel. Her prose is so elegant and her story-telling so compelling that I almost forgot I was reading a cookbook. - Russell Norman, PolpoThis very entertaining book is a perfect marriage of the personal with the practical. Rachel has the ability of combining intimate reminiscences with excellent recipes. If you want to know anything about the food of Rome or Sicily, this is the book for you. - Anna Del ConteRachel Roddy brings the warm flavours of the south into our northern kitchens. Her dishes from Sicily and Rome are linked by family stories, and both place and food are beautifully photographed. I shall cook from this book with pleasure. - Jill NormanRoddy’s writing often reminds me of a more generous, more evocative Elizabeth David. - The Art of EatingHer writing is elegant and her recipes tempting - the perfect combination. - Evening StandardThis is the most wonderful cookbook, especially - though not exclusively - if you like really reading cookbooks, possibly in bed. - India KnightRoddy is a gifted storyteller, and a masterful hand with simple ingredients. She brings to life in mouthwatering detail her culinary love and daily discoveries from a life lived well, of Roman markets and full family tables. - Guardian CookAbout The Author
