## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 May 2016*

Very interesting and informative book.

### ⭐ Unable to separate personal biases from evidence-based studies
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 December 2017*

I had to stop reading on page 45 after Flinn’s second ill-informed dig at MSG. “It affects many people like a toxin,” she tells one of her students, even though decades of studies have failed to demonstrate this. If you are still taken in by the MSG / “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” myth in 2017, then fine. But I can’t trust or respect you as a food writer or a self-professed “researcher.”A quick flick through the footnotes highlighted other logical misunderstandings (where the scientific burden of proof lies, p.201); and shoddy research (how induction hobs work, p118). None of this bodes well for evidence-based research, but the real shibboleth is that the author believes that she is disorganised because she is a Gemini (p36).Hypothesis: You are disorganised because of the position of some distant lumps of gas and rock at the moment you came out of your mum’s front bottom. Research that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful book for a cozy armchair!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 July 2022*

Kathleen has a wonderful way of writing, I feel like I am in the class with all of them, learning and listening to all the conversations.I wonderful way of learning about cooking without the step by step guide of cooking. I have some knowledge of cooking but the lessons her pupils learn in this book gave me great ideas and information on subjects I never even thought about.Reading the change in the students from beginning to end gave me a warm fuzzy proud feeling.A truly wonderful book.
