-Tom Cox, The Guardian

"my children have practically skipped their way from one discovery to the next"
-Sally Raikes, The Financial Times

"Adele ... challenges us to leave behind our shrink-wrapped preconceptions about the right sorts of food ... and take stock of what grows wild around us"
-Catalina Stogdan, The Telegraph
