Reviews / Votes
A must for any true offal enthusiast, and a fascinating reference work. * The Independent * Some cooks are monomaniacs, which is why Anissa Helou's The Fifth Quarter, an offal cookbook will be a hit. * The Guardian * Adventurous palates will relish the cooking phenomenon of nose-to-tail. * Wallpaper * [This] elegantly designed book on offal and off-cuts of meat is uncompromising in its approach. Some of her recipes are not for the squeamish, but there are more approachable ones too. * The Spectator * Anyone with even the slightest taste for offal should rush out and buy The Fifth Quarter. This wonderful book takes in everything from foie gras and chicken wings to fish tripe soup, abalone and goose feet. -- Tom Parker Bowles * Mail on Sunday *More details
