Reviews

'A work of rare joy, and one as wholly irresistible as the food it so delightfully describes. In elegant, erudite and often deeply moving passages she invites us to enter well-loved worlds by recreating food from literature. So evocative is the book that one is plunged instantly through the looking-glass for bread and oysters, or finds oneself on the chamomile lawn eating kedgeree, or hesitates over another wicked mouthful of Turkish Delight from Narnia's witch. It is a glorious work that nourishes the mind and spirit as much as the body, and I could not love it more' Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent.

'(Literally) the sweetest thing' Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist.
