'Wonderful book ... I regard it as a sacred text! I can best
describe it as the most beautifully written description of what
cooking is all about, and what it actually is, with recipes. It has
such wisdom and calmness and, yes, grace' - Nigella Lawson
'Like Nigella Lawson'sHow to Eat, it's a book to gorge on for its
quiet, gentle and uplifting wisdom' - Best Food Books of 2022, The
Times
'Tamar Adler has brought calm to many kitchens ... A lady to know
in these times of economic distress' - Victoria Prever, Jewish
Chronicle
'This apt book about "eating affordably, responsibly and well"
isn't a conventional cookbook - though there are plenty of recipes
in it - but a thought-provoking reflection on the meaning of
cooking and eating. It takes us back to basics, such as how to
avoid mushy rice, putting stale bread to good use and knowing when
veg is cooked' - Charlotte Heathcote, Sunday Express
'The beauty of the book is in Adler's prose. This will make a
lovely gift for a foodie friend who loves to think more deeply
about sourcing, cooking and producing meals. There is a lot to get
one's teeth into in this intelligent and reflective book. It is one
of those volumes that once read, one will return to again and again
as the style of writing draws one back into its pages' - Madeleine
Morrow, London Unattached
