I own every cookbook of Diana’s, so it was a real joy to be given an advanced copy of her collected essays to review. I’m a foodie who loves flicking through cookbooks (I own more than 1500, yes it’s obscene) but I didn’t think I would love reading a full book written about food. How wrong I was! This book is an absolute delight to dip in and out of when you need a little spark of joy in your life or a shot of foodie inspiration. Or do as I did, read it from cover to cover and then decide that you were a fool to avoid these types of books in the past.

The blurb by Stanley Tucci, whom I adore, sold me on this book and I agree with his assessment. This is a lovely, gorgeously written, must-read for foodies! Will make you laugh, drool over the food descriptions, and cheer with gladness.

I love Diana Henry. Her latest is as inviting as its title suggests, though if you're in need of recipes, turn away -- this one book is a collection of her gorgeously written essays and personal reflections. Her writing is just so beautiful. I found myself bookmarking page after page, drawn to her balance of comfort and elegance. It's a joy to see so many of her essays collected here. If you're of a certain age (as I am), it's a time travel experience (and fun!) to trace what's changed and what's stayed the same in the food world.

This book was entertaining and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.

I cannot express how much I love Diana Henry's cookbooks and writing and this book is no exception. Perfect for anyone who loves food and food writing
