Review
I love this book. I love everything about it: the recipes, the tone and, as importantly, Alices warmth.”
Sophie Dahl, author of Miss Dahls Voluptuous Delights
Thoroughly modern and irresistible recipes. Full of meals for good times with friends. Makes you hungry just reading it.”
Diana Henry, author of Pure Simple Cooking
Alices Cookbook brings the food of hip London chef Alice Hart to our shores, with an emphasis on dishes that are seasonal, crowd-friendly and uncomplicated. Hart . . . pairs flavors that make sense; they make complete palettes. . . . A relatively inexperienced, 30-something cook can pull off Harts recipes and will appreciate [their] modern sensibility.”
Washington Post
A cookbook filled with recipes to nourish a busy lifestyle. [Alice Hart provides] easy-to-follow menus and recipes for seasonal lunches, portable breakfasts, and parties, among other occasions. . . . For readers too busy to cook or those simply seeking fresh and tasty ideas.”
Kirkus Reviews
Alice Hart . . . should feel very proud of what shes done. This is a compact paperback volume which is just the right size to carry around and study to tab all the great recipes. I try to test each book I own with at least one recipe, and for this one, it was the brownies. She boasted they are the best ever, and my husband concurs! The rest of the book is laid out around occasions in which you might prepare a certain meal picnic, around the fire, Sundays, etc. I found this organization to be helpful not just for thinking of meal planning, but also in getting into narrative of the book and feeling as though I could relate to Alices lifestyle and how food fits into it. Some of the recipes are a bit involved, but every so often, its good to make an extra effort in the kitchen. I really like this book, a lot. With superb photography by Emma Lee, it is definitely on my list of favorites!”
