Critics Review
“Wonderful … Paints vivid pen portraits with recipes and advice. More than a period piece, it is funny and full of charm.” – Sunday Times
“Remarkable. Aside from its wit and period charm, this [recognises] that the most important ingredient in the kitchen is the human … Nearly seventy years on, this still feels like a radical message.” – Bee Wilson
“This is not just another cookery book; it is a tonic and a beacon for the many who must and the few who wish to live alone.” – Wine and Food
