‘Nicola Humble serves up a fascinating history of Britain’s culinary evolution through cookery books which have inspired us over the course of a century, beginning with Mrs Beeton and leading to the rise of the celebrity TV chef.’
‘Opinionated and intelligent, Nicola Humble’s survey repeatedly confirms that there is nothing new under the culinary sun .... it should be welcomed as a readable survey of the books we all own but only rarely visit.’ Independent
