The Cook Reviews

'A marvellous experiment in voice ... assays fine dining and late capitalism' Financial Times. * Financial Times *
'A deliciously dark satire about foodyism, celebrity chefs and aspiring consumerism ... Macauley's stream-of-consciousness prose has a compulsive vitality' Daily Mail. * Daily Mail *
'Much of this book seems grotesque, but don't be fooled into thinking it's not real ... each time you think you've reached the limits of this thought-provoking and brilliant novel, it just gets deeper' Scarlett Thomas, Guardian. * Guardian *
'Reminds us just how exciting it is to read a wonderful and original novel' Lloyd Jones, author of Mister Pip. * Lloyd Jones *
'A riot of a novel. Gripping and subversive' Nick Cave. * Nick Cave *
