Joan Morgan’s magnificent new work on Pears…my food book of the year.. illustrated with Elizabeth Dowle’s exquisite paintings’
Nigel Slater, Instagram
A remarkable book, a scholarly work, a joy to read and look at.
Sheila Dillon, The Food Programme, BBC Radio 4
The Book of Pears is ‘stunning, it’s beautiful, brim-full of information and inspiration.’
Lord Hall, BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming Awards
The publication of this most readable book is a cause for celebration.
Ursula Buchan, The Spectator
This is food history at its finest. Morgan’s rigorous and fluent prose grows from its botanical base to widen our understanding of society and culture.
