Reviews

This book is a total joy
*Nigella Lawson*

This is a wonderful mess of a book: inventive, fresh and deliciously irreverent. Duck Rendang and Paneer Gnudi with Saag are at the top of my cooking list
*Yotam Ottolenghi*

‘Crazily, gloriously, life-affirmingly delicious … homely, warm, kind but inventive (in the best way), rule-bending and thoughtful’
*Diana Henry*

Ravinder Bhogal has a brilliant understanding of spicing and pitch perfect taste. Her dishes are the kind that make you sit up and pay attention. She's a true talent

Ravinder is one of the freshest, most talented names in the food world now

Her book packs ... exotic-yet-homely flavours

Jikoni’s recipes are eclectic, vibrant and all-embracing … wreathed in stories from Bhogal’s life, from the pickle makers and female vegetable sellers of her childhood to personal essays about her late father
*Scotland on Sunday*

Ravinder Bhogal puts an immense amount of thought into how she feeds people
*Herald*

In Ravinder's book, you'll find recipes ranging from pina colada pancakes, to lamb Wellington with feta, pine nuts and sumac, but by coincidence, I've become rather fond of poussin (young chicken), one of which is perfect to share between two - or to keep to yourself, if you're very hungry.
*BBC Good Food Magazine*

A true gem of a book to feast on
