the
Edible Atlas
‘A fascinating project, telling some fantastic stories about a broad range of cuisines. Mina’s style is engaging and illuminating and the food cries to be cooked’
YOTAM OTTOLENGHI ‘The Edible Atlas is not only a delight to read but also peppered with delicious recipes, facts and flavours from around the world’
RACHEL KHOO ‘Intelligent, informative, entertaining and very handsome. Mina Holland’s prose is as engaging as her recipes. She is an exciting and authoritative new voice in the world of cookery and food writing’
RUSSELL NORMAN ‘Mina has managed to present world cuisine on a plate in this marvellous book’
JOSÉ PIZARRO ‘Holland is a resoundingly enthusiastic guide . . . Where she’s visited, or even lived in, the places she’s writing about, Holland puts in welcome splashes of autobiographical colour . . . Intriguing little facts are scattered hither and yon . . . The most appealing aspect of the book is its practical emphasis on cooking these cuisines at home . . . Most importantly, The Edible Atlas makes you hungry’
SAM LEITH, GUARDIAN ‘The Edible Atlas explores what and why people eat as they do . . . Not only an enjoyable trip around the culinary world, but it also gives you the chance to try them yourself with three recipes from each region’
GQ ‘An anthropological exploration of food . . . The fusion of history, literature and food even manages to weave in recipes and words of wisdom from some world-famous chefs en route’
