A Girl and Her Greens

Rezensionen / Stimmen

There are chefs whose restaurants I rush to, chefs I have been honoured to cook with, chefs whose recipes I want to use over and over again. April is all of these to me. Read this book, and you will understand why -- Ruth Rogers Seasonal vegetables should be at the heart of every good kitchen - and it's great to see they are the life and soul of April's. Her lovely new book finds her revelling in veg, and all its gloriously colourful, mouth-watering, tummy-filling potential. I defy any curious cook to flick through these delicious pages and not want to get busy immediately -- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall This is veg with attitude * * GQ * * She is renowned for her hearty, meat-based dishes . . . here, she shows how you do equally indulgent things with vegetables * * Women's Health * * [April is] one of my favourite cooks, one of the most humble, genius chefs on the planet. This chick cooks like a ninja -- Jamie Oliver Believe me when I tell you that [April's] food is extraordinary. I don't mean extraordinary in a Michelin-starred look-at-these-truffled-potatoes kind of way. Nor do I mean extraordinary in a Heston Blumenthal this-mackerel-pops-like-Space-Dust kind of way. I mean only that it is extraordinarily delicious -- Rachel Cooke * * Observer * * It's official: New York's best chef is British * * The Times * * What a chef! Delicious, brilliant, inspiring -- Fergus Henderson April Bloomfield is already someone I admire enormously, and whose food I adore, one terrific restaurant after another. But with her book, she's done yet another extraordinary thing: it's a beast - and it's going right up there on the special shelf next to the classics. Whenever I eat April's food, read her menus or cook from her recipes, I feel like she's reading my mind. It's always exactly what I wanted and needed, but better. I want to be just like her when I grow up -- Anthony Bourdain * * on A GIRL AND HER PIG * * April Bloomfield's beautiful book is one of only a handful that make me want to go straight into my kitchen and start to cook. A triumph -- Russell Norman * * on A GIRL AND HER PIG * * The force behind Manhattan's Spotted Pig serves up delicious recipes, each accompanied by anecdotes infused with her exacting, passionate approach to food * * Vogue on A GIRL AND HER PIG * *
