Reviews

Praise for First Bite: ‘Bee Wilson is the ultimate food scholar’ Yotam Ottolenghi ‘[A] call-to-arms manifesto to make eating guiltlessly pleasurable for all’ Nigella Lawson ‘If there were any justice in the world, this book should be at the top of this month's diet-book bestsellers … I agree with every word she writes' Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times ‘If any book can effect long-term weight loss, it should be this one, because it feeds the mind rather than denying the body’ The Times ‘First Bite is a brilliant read; a month after finishing it, I still think of it every time I set the table’ Observer Food Monthly
