I read it greedily. Thank you.
*Nigella Lawson*
Eat Up! is brilliant. Thought-provoking, hunger-stoking and so very
well written. Buy it. You won't regret it.
*Meera Sodha*
A wonderful read, whatever you eat. Loved this book for helping me
rediscover joy in food when 'new year, new me' diet rhetoric was
getting unbearable.
*Reni Eddo-Lodge*
If you love food, complications and all, then Ruby's incisive
manifesto - to enjoy food for what it is - is for you.
*Thomasina Miers*
Eat Up! is a joyous manifesto for flavour and sanity. It will give
you more nourishment and wellness - not to mention waffles! - than
any number of clean eating books. Tandoh takes in everything from
Nepalese chicken dumplings to the science of taste; from
blackberrying to the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Ruby Tandoh has
written a genre-busting antidote to food-anxiety. You come away
from it feeling braver and determined to eat with more freedom and
gusto. I loved it.
*Bee Wilson*
I not only ate it up, I devoured it! A salutary reminder that food
is about nourishment in all its senses - thank you Ruby for putting
the pleasure back into eating.
*Helen Goh, co-author of Sweet (with Yotam Ottolenghi)*
Ruby Tandoh has written a hand grenade of a book. What I love most
about Eat Up is all of the books that it isn't. It isn't a recipe
collection full of soft-focus food pornography, the author lifting
something glistening to her perfect lips, alone in an immaculate
kitchen. It isn't a manual for how to save your soul by way of
micronutrient-inflected mortification of the flesh. It is not a
memoir of one young woman's emotional journey, served rare with a
side of gawking and a comforting, sweet finish. Like Tandoh, it
refuses to be anything but what it is: a strange, special,
occasionally repetitive book that is somehow so much more than it
was meant to be ... she takes graceful aim at the cult of wellness,
front-loads the economics of food poverty and provides a recipe for
a can of fizzy pop, cold from the fridge ... Eat Up is part-Delia
Smith, part-Irvine Welsh.
*New Statesman*
Ruby's writing in Eat Up! is moreish. Her third book is witty,
thoughtful, epigrammatic, sometimes scholarly and always passionate
... Eat Up!'s mission is to replace our collective nervousness
about food with guilt-free appreciation
*Times*
Eat Up is really, really, really good
*The High Low Podcast*
Tandoh takes the reader on an optimistic, witty, inclusive ride
through our relationship with food ... she is at her best when she
is giddy with the joy of cooking ... a warm, reassuring book [and]
a defiantly upbeat read
*The i Paper*
Tandoh has built up a body of food writing that is as incisive
about the relationship between eating disorders and health culture
as it is on the undervalued appeal of food memoirs
*Food and Wine*
A passionate, common-sense manifesto that celebrates food in all
its guises, and debunks damaging ideas
*Olive Magazine*
Tandoh examines knotty issues with both gravity and humour, her
enthusiasm for the pleasure of eating - sun-warmed Essex
blackberries or a perfectly composed Burger King - running through
each chapter like the lettering on a stick of seaside rock. Eat Up
is a timely reminder that food is something to savour.

pleasure back into eating
