In a desperate search for “great british food”, I came across this title and had to press buy.

5 for style, 3 for substance – the recipes did not taste great.
This book is like David Beckham – sexy as all hell – but such a shame he has to talk…
It is easily the most beautiful cookbook I have ever seen.

Alas, when it comes to communicating, something goes slightly out of kilter.
My rating 4 stars
