“ Utterly scrumptious. It's the kind of food you want to eat at home every weekend ”
Yotam Ottolenghi
“ I'm a longtime fan of the blog and this is a wonderful cookbook ”
Rachel Khoo, Little Paris Kitchen
“ Approachable but exciting recipes that you’ll return to again and again ”
Waitrose Kitchen
“ Her food is creative, her writing chatty and discursive, and the sheer delight she takes in cooking things which work and give pleasure shines through on every page... Her attention to detail, partly a response to pernickety questions from readers seeking advice and clarification on her recipes, make her the perfect partner to hand-hold even the most bashful kitchen novice ”
Mail on Sunday
“ Smitten Kitchen reads like a conversation with a witty friend who can recommend the perfect nosh for any occasion ”
O, The Oprah Magazine

“ Home cooking at its mouthwatering best ”
Woman and Home
“ Her style is friendly and personal... Delicious new ideas, with the baking a particular highlight ”
Sally Hughes, BBC Good Food
“ Home cooking levelled up by someone who really loves and understands food, and it’s all captured beautifully thanks to her photography expertise…I always think it’s a good sign when I flick through a new cook book and immediately earmark about 90% of the recipes as ‘must make soon’, and even better to find I already have the ingredients for several of them in the house already! It’s the kind of book that I will find myself reaching for midweek inspiration as well as for ‘occasion’ cooking. Needless to say, I highly recommend it to everyone ”
What Kate Does
“ The photography is pretty and untricksy. Perelman's writing style is natural and confident and you will feel in safe hands cooking from this book ”
Saffron Strands
“ Wonderful ”
Inside a British Mum's Kitchen
“ It's been a long time coming for a cookbook to emerge from the author's small New York kitchen. Has it been worth the wait? Unequivocally, yes! Deb's recipes continue to amaze and surprise me. She's a home cook with a huge talent for changing the complexion of ordinary ingredients with a smattering of black sesame seeds or dried cranberries; she tweaks in all the right places ”
Culinaria Libris
“ Simple, honest and entirely delicious… It’s a great book, if like me and many home cooks, you have a tiny kitchen and limited resources then this is perfect for you. It’s simple, unashamed home cooking and utterly marvellous for that ”
Rob's Food Blog
“ Save money by knocking together a recipe from food blogger Deb Perelman’s new book… The New York breakfast casserole made with chopped bagels sounds weird but tastes amazing ”
