This is a wonderful book - great recipes, lovely photos, and fascinating material about biodynamics, a kind of 'premium organic' farming that is spreading fast. It also has a lot of stuff about food politics and nutrition. But mostly it is full of a good and original selection of recipes. Highly recommended.

I was mightily impressed by this book. Wendy Cook - yes, the first wife of comedian Peter Cook - has certainly done huge amounts of homework to present a seemingly all-encompassing view of food, from how it is grown to how it is cooked. You could say this is a green, organic perspective - but it is much more than that. Wendy delves into the spiritual background of food: what it is, how it affects us, the significance of different types of food, etc. This goes far beyond the standard 'alternative' received wisdom about food, i.e. vitamins etc., to esoteric perspectives. I reccommend this book. Whatever your approach, I'm sure you will get a lot from it.

I thought the book was quite interesting, but in the end we don't really get to find out a great deal of what drove Peter Cook to the sort of problems that led to the end of his first marriage, nor do we really get to understand his humour, the role of satire in changing the culture of the times, and so on. This is a shame. To be fair, there are dabs of insight; it is not entirely self-serving, but in the end you come away not really learning all that much about one of the "Great Peters" of UK comedy (the other being Peter Sellers).
One of the nicer aspects of the book is its vignettes of Dudley Moore, one of my heroes. >>More Details |
