You'll be charmed, enlightened and inspired by this beautiful and insightful telling of where we are today with food that celebrates home cooking. (Claudia Roden)
A fascinating book full of interesting food stories and recipes for delicious dishes. (Anna Del Conte)
Eloquently and warmly written, Mamma is a book at once deeply personal and fascinatingly anthropological. Mina is a joy to read: intelligent, thoughtful and playfully humorous, she engages you with food in a way that is both ravenous-making and cerebral. While exploring the importance of food and cooking to identity and wider culture, it's also a book that makes a compelling case for the deliciousness, imperfection and humanity of home cooking - a moving and refreshing read in a world of aspirational, often exclusionary food and lifestyle porn. (Rosie Birkett)
