April, April, April - what a chef! Delicious, brilliant, inspiring... With her book, A Girl and Her Pig, you can now sample her splendid food in your own kitchen -- Fergus Henderson
Such a brilliant, beautiful book from one of my favourite cooks, one of the most humble, genius chefs on the planet. This chick cooks like a ninja, and now she's giving you all of her secrets - what are you waiting for? -- Jamie Oliver
April Bloomfield is already someone I admire enormously, and whose food I adore, one terrific restaurant after another. But with her book, she's done yet another extraordinary thing: it's a beast - and it's going right up there on the special shelf next to the classics. Whenever I eat April's food, read her menus or cook from her recipes, I feel like she's reading my mind. It's always exactly what I wanted and needed, but better. I want to be just like her when I grow up -- Anthony Bourdain
