Thoughtful, lively and original. No one has approached food in regard to time before
Jill Norman, Food and Wine Writer
Beautifully written and highly original. Jenny Linford scrutinises time-honoured food production methods and cookery techniques through the often ignored lens of time. A gently informative, almost lyrical volume for our impatient times
Joanna Blythman, author of Shopped: The Shocking Power Of British Supermarkets
Brilliant and original ... From slow feasts to fast food, Linford shows that, no matter what we are cooking, time is of the essence'
Bee Wilson, Sunday Times
Interesting...clever...revelatory
Rachel Cooke, Guardian
Jenny Linford has created something quite remarkable: a treatise on the single most vital and most overlooked element of food and cooking that's as page-turning as a thriller. It's hard to believe nobody has tackled the concept of 'time' before, and Jenny has done it more than justice. A glorious, essential addition to every food lover's book shelves.
Marina O’Loughlin, restaurant critic
Thoughtful and engaging
Waitrose Weekend
A compelling book...Time is the unacknowledged genie of the kitchen. The Missing Ingredient considers the meanings that go beyond quantitative measures
Darra Goldstein, TLS
