City Life magazine 'With very little in the way of complex preparation, it should see a lot of use from time-pressured family cooks' Food and Wine Magazine 'Once the sumptuous photographs have lured you in, the straighforward text will have you heading kitchenwards to conjure some very manageable delights.'
