As moreish as the snacks it celebrates, The Joy of Snacks is a smart, funny and moving meditation on the little things that make life great. I loved it. * Ruby Tandoh *
Laura Goodman is a simply perfect food writer and everything she does is a dream * Ella Risbridger *
There are few food writers as witty and informed as Laura, and I (unsurprisingly to me) devoured this book. She also happens to have great taste, so I will be making most of these dips immediately. * Georgina Hayden *
It's so refreshing to read a cookbook that makes me laugh! Laura does the near impossible; her food and her good humour are as delicious in real life as on the page * Alice Levine *
An utterly joyful read. I cannot think of a nicer afternoon than to settle down with this book and a variety of snacks alongside. * Rukmini Iyer *
Naked, unashamed and witty, Laura Goodman delights, tempts and insults our intestines with raucous, dangerous and surprising suggestions * Miriam Margolyes *
