What readers are saying:

“I wasn’t sure when the topic of the first book was bitter food as I didn’t think I was a fan… but how wrong was I?! What a fantastic selection of recipes — every one I have tried so far has been so tasty.”

“My favourite cookbook all year… I buy a lot of cookbooks, some I love to read and barely cook from, and some are purely practical - Bitter is absolutely both. You learn so much about flavour and the writing is a joy to read, but the recipes are beyond delicious and a lot of fun to make.”

“Beautiful, well-written and well-edited. The recipes are interesting and doable, even here in Portugal where ingredients can sometimes be a challenge. ”

“You think you know how to use certain ingredients and then Bitter comes along and enlightens you into a whole new world of how to cook and eat. It's rare to find such original recipes but that's exactly what you get, as informative as it is innovative - and delicious! I can't imagine my kitchen without it!”
