'Three loud, very heartfelt cheers for a book that promises
children a better start in the kitchen and at table ... a book to
read out loud, with pictures to pore over, ideas to talk about ...
education and entertainment at its appetising best, a kitchen
primer that sparkles with infectious enthusiasm, sets the
imagination alight, engages all the senses in a voyage of culinary
discovery, encourages young cooks ... THE RIVER COTTAGE FAMILY
COOKBOOK is in places as gripping as a detective story, it is a
fount of useful information, and great inspiration for culinary
action stations'
*Phillippa Davenport, Financial Times*
'A triumph ... will grab the attention of younger readers, and the
range of recipes is broad enough to interest more seasoned cooks,
too'
*Irish Times (Book of the Year)*
'Recipes so simple that a child could do them, but this is not a
cookbook for children; it is a brilliant introduction to making
food that's suitable for everyone'
*Independent*
'A great way to learn the basics without feeling patronised ... You
come away from the experience not just with a tasty supper but with
a better knowledge of food ... comfortingly old-fashioned ... will
almost certainly go on my shelf of "genuinely useful cook-books",
cross-referenced with my folder of "ways to entertain the kids at
weekends"'
*Time Out*
Praise for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall:
This is the most honest cookbook I have found, reeking with
helpful, hands-on wisdom. It is everything it should be and more
... deliciously funny, well written and neither macho nor
sanctimonious.
*Jill Dupleix, The Times, on THE RIVER COTTA*
The best new book of the year without a shadow of a doubt, a
serious treatise, a meat cookery bible and a supremely appetising
recipe collection. Fearnley-Whittingstall is our most important and
eloquent food writer today.
*Philippa Davenport, Financial Times , on TH*
Ripe and magnificent ... a good and beautiful book
*The Guardian on THE RIVER COTTAGE YEAR*
If only all the men who put on an apron once a year to take charge
of a barbecue had Hugh's knowledge and charm.
*Spectator on THE RIVER COTTAGE MEAT BOOK*
