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 publication of this most readable book is a cause for celebration.
Ursula Buchan, The Spectator
The Book of Pears is ‘stunning, it’s beautiful, brim-full of information and inspiration.’
Lord Hall, BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming Awards
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.
