Of all the many cookery cooks that exist, there are only really a handful which are truly a must-have - The Cook's Companion is one of them.'  Jamie Oliver'It is a rare fit that all cookery writers strive to achieve: writing the definitive book on a single subject. Stephanie Alexander did the impossible and wrote the definitive book on all subjects.'  Yotam Ottolenghi'A bible of the best Australian family cooking. The recipes are pretty bulletproof and her tone really means that the book — to quote one of my Twitter pals –—“keeps you company” while you cook.'  Matt Preston
