'Pleasantly jokey but exhaustively researched...a delight of Turkish proportions'
Daily Telegraph
'Delightful...this is a book written from the heart, conceived with wit and filled with enthusiasm - I loved it'
Sunday Telegraph
'Opens surprising doors on to history. Richardson has pulled countless plums out of his lucky dip of a subject...Good humour is here a leitmotif, and it has produced a good book'
Guardian
'A truly delicious history, his homage to the humble sweet is a lovingly detailed account that can't be resisted'
Sunday Herald
'Full of delights...while the book gets its structure from serious research, it's built on a foundation of joy'
The New York Times
'Bursting with jolly anecdotes and compellingly useless information... a most enjoyable book'
Mail on Sunday
