Reviews for A Girl and Her Pig
April, April, April - what a chef! Delicious, brilliant, inspiring... With her book, A Girl and Her Pig, you can now sample her splendid food in your own kitchen
Fergus Henderson Such a brilliant, beautiful book from one of my favourite cooks, one of the most humble, genius chefs on the planet. This chick cooks like a ninja, and now she's giving you all of her secrets - what are you waiting for?
Jamie Oliver April Bloomfield is already someone I admire enormously, and whose food I adore, one terrific restaurant after another. But with her book, she's done yet another extraordinary thing: it's a beast - and it's going right up there on the special shelf next to the classics. Whenever I eat April's food, read her menus or cook from her recipes, I feel like she's reading my mind. It's always exactly what I wanted and needed, but better. I want to be just like her when I grow up
Anthony Bourdain April Bloomfield's beautiful book is one of only a handful that make me want to go straight into my kitchen and start to cook. A triumph
Russell Norman This is a fine book, and a good read
Shaun Hill
Caterer and Hotelkeeper
This beautiful book is accurately subtitled 'Recipes and Stories', for at every turn, April tells a little story about creating the dish, or why she has chosen a particular combination of ingredients, or how a flavour conjures a particular memory
Good Book Guide
Bloomfield is definitely a chef worth booking in for
Victoria Stewart
London Evening Standard
You can bet this woman doesn't only think in food: she dreams in it, too
Ruby Warrington
Sunday Times Style
Her influences range from her time spent at the River Café and Bibendum, all of which come together into beautifully rustic, relaxed cooking with an underlying commitment to precision
Eve O'Sullivan
Gerber Public Relations
GQ's favourite female chef . . . With great photography (by David Loftus) and illustrations, you won't know whether to read it, use it, or just admire it
