About this title

Review:

'A sophisticated book for sophisticated readers. Warmly recommended for librarians who need children as an excuse to buy the book' -- School Librarian

'Wierd and wonderful concoctions, sweet and sour characters, and line drawing decoration by Sue Hellard are a recipe for a success in this deliciously original little novel'
-- Literacy Time Plus: Ages 7 to 9

`A sophisticated book for sophisticated readers. Warmly recommended'
-- The School Librarian

`Enchanting debut ... witty, warm-hearted and as delectable as one of the dishes it describes, this is as much a hymn to the culinary arts as to the magic of kindness, and is recommended for 6-9s'
-- Amanda Craig, The Times

`Think Amelie scripted by Heston Blumenthal' -- Financial Times
