Industry Reviews

'Helped by tasty colour reproductions of old soup adverts, Clarkson investigates soups as comfort (chicken), medicine (lentils or, believe it or not, vipers) and weapon ("Arsenic-laced soup was the method of choice of the serial killer Helene Jegado (1801-52").' - Steven Poole, The Guardian 'The Edible series of books, with titles such as Tea, Sandwich, Soup and others, are full of fascinating facts but are almost small enough to squeeze into a Christmas stocking.' - Delicious 'as with all books in the series, this is a bright and wonderful read.' - InMamasKitchen
