‘Adler is the best kind of kitchen companion, someone whose warm and witty voice I want to carry with me as I cook’ – Bee Wilson

‘Exquisite… has the bare honesty of diary entries and the chiselled beauty of prose-poems. I’m so grateful that it’s in the world‘ – Nigella Lawson

‘Potent joy… As a human and a writer, Adler finds her grounding by paying exceptionally close attention, and her easily consumed examples nudge the reader to do the same’ – Bill Addison, Los Angeles Times

‘An absolutely unmissable food diary’ – Observer

‘Certainly provides food for thought … A mash-up of memoir, kitchen notebook, occasional recipe book and philosophical navel-gazer … This is mindfulness in action… stop. Look. Focus. Feel … An object lesson in taking refuge in small pleasures’ – Sunday Times

‘An ode to cooking as a habit, a comfort and an everyday joy … I’m not sure there’s another cook currently writing who has the power to transform her readers’ relationships to their own kitchens quite like Tamar Adler … One of the most invigorating and, yes, life-affirming tributes to an existence bookended by meals since Laurie Colwin’s Home Cooking’ – Vogue

‘Will give any reader a whole year of mindful musings … A delight’ – Women Talking

‘Like Nigella Lawson’s How to Eat, it’s a book to gorge on for its quiet, gentle and uplifting wisdom’ – Best Food Books of 2022, The Times

‘Tamar Adler has written the best book on ‘cooking with economy and grace’ that I have read since MFK Fisher’ – Michael Pollan

‘Tamar Adler is more than a wonderful food writer – she is a wonderful writer … A profound book’ – Sheila Heti
