A Girl and Her Pig by April Bloomfield
The long-awaited first cookbook by April Bloomfield, highly esteemed British chef and co-owner of three hugely popular NYC restaurants
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 * * GQ * *
The force behind Manhattan's Spotted Pig serves up delicious recipes, each accompanied by anecdotes infused with her exacting, passionate approach to food * * Vogue * *
