Praise for Rachel Allen:
‘A natural TV chef: relaxed, articulate and knowledgeable’ Sunday
Times ‘Food for real people’ Irish Examiner ‘If you haven’t heard
of Rachel Allen, you will soon. Ireland’s blond and beautiful
equivalent of Nigella Lawson…is taking her place on the
international culinary scene with her everyday food that focuses on
simple suppers and divine puddings.’ Daily Mail YOU Magazine ‘As
wholesome and attractive as its charming author, Home Cooking is
well thought out and accessibly written, with the emphasis on
relaxed family meals. Ideal for anyone who needs to cook on a
regular basis but hasn’t much experience.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘The
book I've taken to most this season is by the Irish Nigella, Rachel
Allen. Her ‘Bake’ is simply and engagingly written: one
irresistible thing after another.’ Evening Standard
