Reviews
This slim volume has the edge on Deighton (Action Cook Book) when it comes to simplicity, and would make a great stocking filler for anyone about to leave home for the first time -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *
Not only do the delightful and meticulous drawings offer an eye-catching alternative to your average cookbook, they also illustrate how easy cooking can be * Yorker *
A book of simple recipes in comic strip form * Daily Telegraph *
