Media Reviews
'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 *
