Editorial Review | Beyond the evocative stories and buoyant style ... there is always information ... meticulously collected, compellingly assembled, lovingly told ... informative, delectable and incredibly useful -- Yotam Ottolenghi Roden's great gift is to conjure up not just a cuisine but the culture from which it springs -- Nigella Lawson Claudia Roden's writing has the fascination of her conversation. Her books are treasure-houses of information and mines of literary pleasures * Observer * Claudia Roden is no more a simple cookbook writer than Marcel Proust was a biscuit baker. She is, rather, memorialist, historian, ethnographer, anthropologist, essayist, poet ... -- Simon Schama |
