Media Reviews
'I was captivated by the book from the outset ... inspirational and a pleasure to read' Anna Hansen, chef-proprietor of The Providores 'Containing over 1000 stunning images from photographer Alan Donaldson, this beautifully presented book is a combination of mouth-watering recipes, culinary essays and personal anecdotes.' The People's Friend 'It's an inspiring book for anyone interested in the less well-worn roads to success.' The Herald 'It's a cliche to say this book is the next best thing to eating in the restaurant, but it is. Visit it the next time you go over the sea to Skye.' Evening Times 'It is more than a cookery book and a delight to read.' Family Breaks 'I found The Three Chimneys cookbook inspirational and a pleasure to read, with snapshots of family and awesome landscapes contributing to the overall effect' Caterer 'This book is a glorious amalgam of personal reminiscence of two people who exchanged life in Croydon for a cottage by the sea, down a single-track road - and the recipes for which their restaurant has become famous.' Leopard Magazine 'With over 100 stunning photographs by Alan Donaldson, this attractive 164-page paperback combines culinary essays and personal anecdotes.' The Scots Magazine 'My meal was the freshest, brightest, most exhilarating lunch I have ever had' Orlando Murrin, Editor of BBC Good Food Magazine 'I've been eagerly anticipating Shirley's book. At last it's here and it's a cracker' Nick Nairn
