An entertaining romp through Parisian kitchen life

Daily Telegraph

Booth's prose is as easily digestible as you hope his food is: he's as sharp as a Michelin chef's collection of knives ... A flavoursome offering

Time Out

Fast-paced, laugh-a-page...[with] more tips than a library of Gordon Ramsay books

Metro

Gloriously funny...engaging, insightful, informative and even touching... style that's irresistible

Independent on Sunday

He's funny and perceptive, but best of all, Booth writes like a dream

Lucy Knox, Tribune

Humorously chronicled...If you're a gourmand you'll love this book. Packed full of instructions on how to re-create French cuisine at home, it makes for brilliant reading and even better kitchen results. It's the perfect fix to the slap-it-all-in-the-pan-and-lick-your-fingers Nigella style of cooking

France Magazine

The most enjoyable book about food I've read since Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential

Mail on Sunday

The writing is lively

John Dugdale, Guardian

Well written, entertaining and funny

Paul O’Doherty, Irish Times
