Media Reviews
'... Trenchant, funny and wise observations, written with an elan that is every bit as distinctive as Derek Cooper's broadcasting voice.' Matthew Fort, The Guardian 'Cooper's book is seriously concerned about what we eat and with what the great anonymous they are trying to sell us. It is also fun to read, thanks to his frequently sly sense of humour.' Paul Bailey, Sunday Times 'A fascinating and very readable book.' Harpers & Queen 'Entertaining, engrossing and enlightening.' Henry Harris, The Times
