Media Reviews

The nation's taster-in-chief title belongs unequivocally to Felicity Cloake * Daily Mail *
Brilliant . . . Finely honed culinary instincts, an open mind and a capacious cookbook collection . . . Miss Cloake has them all * Evening Standard *
Properly practical * Rachel Cooke *
A discursive, chatty, knowledgeable and didactic kaleidoscope of a book, the sort of thing Mrs Beeton would no doubt be writing if she were alive today * Daily Mail *
