Book Reviews

"An instant classic which is both an inspiring cookbook and a moving manifesto against the Tescoisation of Britain."
Francis Wheen, Observer.

"A thought-provoking read as well as a recipe book. Prince comes to the rescue of the thrifty and the socially aware."
Lydia Slater, Sunday Times.

"An exceptional new cook book."
Sunday Telegraph.

"Impassioned, principled and packed with practical and inspiring recipes. It is the antithesis of some extravagant big-name cookery books."
Independent.

"She takes seriously the provenance of food, how it has been reared, grown, caught or harvested. One feature is the outmoded but crucial element of thrift. Prince recognises that if you pay a king's ransom for your organic chicken, then you want to make it go as far as possible. To add to its merit, the book is finely produced, with measurements in imperial as well as metric."
The Tablet.

"This is a notable first book from a respected journalist, a breath of fresh air, exuding good sense and full of unpretentious, desirably do-able recipes."
Philippa Davenport, Financial Times Books of the Year.

"A revolutionary new book. Prince has travelled around Britain and investigated food origins, learning from farmers, growers and specialist retailers. The insights she has gleaned are illuminating and often wittily expressed."
Joanna Blythman, Ecologist.
