An entertaining romp through Parisian kitchen life
Daily Telegraph
Booth's prose is as easily digestible as you hope his food is: he's as sharp as a Michelin chef's collection of knives ... A flavoursome offering
Time Out
Fast-paced, laugh-a-page...[with] more tips than a library of Gordon Ramsay books
Metro
Gloriously funny...engaging, insightful, informative and even touching... style that's irresistible
Independent on Sunday
He's funny and perceptive, but best of all, Booth writes like a dream
Lucy Knox, Tribune
Humorously chronicled...If you're a gourmand you'll love this book. Packed full of instructions on how to re-create French cuisine at home, it makes for brilliant reading and even better kitchen results. It's the perfect fix to the slap-it-all-in-the-pan-and-lick-your-fingers Nigella style of cooking
France Magazine
The most enjoyable book about food I've read since Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential
Mail on Sunday
The writing is lively
John Dugdale, Guardian
