Reviews for The Edible Atlas: Around the World in Thirty-Nine Cuisines
A fascinating project, telling some fantastic stories about a broad range of cuisines. Mina's style is engaging and illuminating and the food cries to be cooked
YOTAM OTTOLENGHI The Edible Atlas is not only a delight to read but also peppered with delicious recipes, facts and flavours from around the world
RACHEL KHOO
author of The Little Paris Kitchen
The Edible Atlas deserves a place on every serious cook's bookshelf. Intelligent, informative, entertaining and very handsome. Mina Holland's prose is as engaging as her recipes. She is an exciting and authoritative new voice in the world of cookery and food writing
RUSSELL NORMAN

Mina has managed to present world cuisine on a plate in this marvellous book
JOSÉ PIZARRO Glorious. A terrific read, and really inspiring to dip into . . . a literary amuse bouche, if you like
Independent
There are cook books that teach you to cook, others that help you to understand gastronomy. The Edible Atlas feeds your soul
FERRAN ADRIÀ A fascinating look at who's eating what, and why, across the globe. Author Mina Holland provides a heady mix of history, anecdotes and recipes for beginners to confident cooks alike
JOHN TORODE and GREGG WALLACE

Gastronomic heaven . . . glorious. Her writing is pleasurably evocative
JOANNA BLYTHMAN
Observer
Here is a nice idea for a cookery book, amiably executed and attractively plated up . . . Holland is a resoundingly enthusiastic guide . . . Where she's visited, or even lived in, the places she's writing about, Holland puts in welcome splashes of autobiographical colour . . . Intriguing little facts are scattered hither and yon . . . the most appealing aspect of the book is its practical emphasis on cooking these cuisines at home . . . Most importantly, The Edible Atlas makes you hungry

If you're the sort of person who likes to read a cookery book rather than just flick through the recipes, this is one for you
