What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Ben Mervis and The British Cookbook, also published by Phaidon:
‘Oh what a perfect book. It makes me want to take a year off and stand in a kitchen, all day every day trying to bring these wonderful dishes to life … without a hint of jingoistic grandstanding it reminds us what a rich, varied and proud cuisines we have in Britain … so grateful to have this.’ – Stephen Fry
‘Staggeringly comprehensive and deeply researched, it’s a big, greedy, engrossing banquet of a book.’ – Marina O’Loughlin, British journalist, writer and restaurant critic
