Reviews

'A one-off, the kind of food book that I believed was no longer being published ... when I reached the last page, I went back to the beginning'
*Bee Wilson, The Times*

'A wonderful taste of fresh air ... First, Catch is almost revolutionary ... His words are delicious, musical heaven'
*Wiliam Sitwell*

‘Thom Eagle’s writing is pure joy – effortless and unaffected. Even such a seemingly banal and simple thing as boiling vegetables is engaging and illuminating in his hands. He is easily one of my favourite writers, and this book deserves to become a classic'
*Olia Hercules, author of Mamushka and Kaukasis*

'It feels so tantalisingly transgressive to find a book that looks beautiful, feels lovely in the hand and just contains words — gorgeous, thoughtful essays ... from a talented chef and writer'
*Tim Hayward, Financial Times*
