inspired her to write about what and why people eat as they do
around the globe. The Edible Atlas is her first book; it has been
shortlisted for the 2015 Fortnum & Mason Food Book Award and won
the 2015 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards Best Culinary Travel Book
in the UK.

A fascinating project, telling some fantastic stories about a broad

The Edible Atlas is not only a delight to read but also peppered
with delicious recipes, facts and flavours from around the
world

The Edible Atlas deserves a place on every serious cook's
bookshelf. Intelligent, informative, entertaining and very
handsome. Mina Holland's prose is as engaging as her recipes. She
is an exciting and authoritative new voice in the world of cookery
and food writing

Mina has managed to present world cuisine on a plate in this

Glorious. A terrific read, and really inspiring to dip into . . . a
literary amuse bouche, if you like

There are cook books that teach you to cook, others that help you
to understand gastronomy. The Edible Atlas feeds your soul
*FERRAN ADRIÀ*
A fascinating look at who's eating what, and why, across the globe.

Gastronomic heaven . . . glorious. Her writing is pleasurably
evocative
* * Observer * *
Here is a nice idea for a cookery book, amiably executed and
attractively plated up . . . Holland is a resoundingly enthusiastic
guide . . . Where she's visited, or even lived in, the places she's
writing about, Holland puts in welcome splashes of autobiographical
colour . . . Intriguing little facts are scattered hither and yon .
. . the most appealing aspect of the book is its practical emphasis
on cooking these cuisines at home . . . Most importantly, The
Edible Atlas makes you hungry
* * Guardian * *
If you're the sort of person who likes to read a cookery book
rather than just flick through the recipes, this is one for you
* * Waitrose Weekend * *
An entertaining read . . . Holland looks at the food most typical
of where she's visiting within the wider context of each society,
seasoning with great nuggets en route
* * Daily Mail * *
An anthropological exploration of food . . . The fusion of history,
literature and food even manages to weave in recipes and words of
wisdom from some world-famous chefs en route
* * Food and Travel * *
The Edible Atlas explores what and why people eat as they do.
Delving into 39 global cuisines from Catalan to Calabrian to
Cantonese, the book is not only an enjoyable trip around the
culinary world, but it also gives you the chance to try them
yourself with three recipes from each region at the end of each
chapter
