Now as a food and travel writer, I truly appreciate how much soul is put into writing a piece that reverberates with a reader. Famous for his River Cottage show, the author is a talented food writer and it is well portrayed in this book.
For almost two decades, Hugh has been writing about food in all its guises. To some, his concept of 'good eating' might seem a bit skewed - he prefers game meat to McDs - but to others he is a shining beacon of good sense in a food world gone mad.
Armed with a broad mind, a quick wit and a ready appetite, the author covers almost every area of global food culture, from Tokyo's fugu to Britain's biscuits.
Sometimes his direct approach may seem harsh but it is to direct the material at hand to the reader. Funny, passionate and always entertaining, this book was spot on!
