2021 Best Graphic Novels for Adults - American Library
Association
"A vivid, shrewdly observed satire of fine dining... a treat from
start to finish." — The Guardian
"A tremendously entertaining moral fable that delights because it
never quite goes where you think it will... all wrapped up in
gorgeous full-colour art that is all thick lines and bold
gestures." — The Herald (Scotland)
"Makes the reader positively salivate." — Broken Frontier
“I was absolutely floored by the twists and turns in James Albon’s
storytelling, and his illustrations are absolutely beautiful. As a
former truffle dealer and mushroom forager, I highly recommend The
Delicacy for anyone who loves great comics, good food, and
suspenseful stories!” — Helen Hollyman, Editor in Chief, Thrillist
