Critics Review
‘Adler is the best kind of kitchen companion, someone whose warm and witty voice I want to carry with me as I cook’ - Bee Wilson
‘Exquisite… has the bare honesty of diary entries and the chiselled beauty of prose-poems. I’m so grateful that it’s in the world’ - Nigella Lawson
‘Potent joy… As a human and a writer, Adler finds her grounding by paying exceptionally close attention, and her easily consumed examples nudge the reader to do the same’ - Bill Addison, Los Angeles Times
‘An absolutely unmissable food diary’ - Observer
‘Certainly provides food for thought … A mash-up of memoir, kitchen notebook, occasional recipe book and philosophical navel-gazer … This is mindfulness in action… stop. Look. Focus. Feel … An object lesson in taking refuge in small pleasures’ - Sunday Times
‘An ode to cooking as a habit, a comfort and an everyday joy … I’m not sure there’s another cook currently writing who has the power to transform her readers’ relationships to their own kitchens quite like Tamar Adler … One of the most invigorating and, yes, life-affirming tributes to an existence bookended by meals since Laurie Colwin’s Home Cooking’ - Vogue
‘Will give any reader a whole year of mindful musings … A delight’ - Women Talking
