Style meets substance in these chic and soothing bowlfuls. * Mail on Sunday * Soup is just the thing at this time of year: comforting yet light and healthy - and it's cheap and easy to make. Nicole Pisani and Kate Adams have joined forces to provide a collection of knock-out soups. There are broths, chowders and dhals; hot and cold soups; vegetarian, meaty and fishy bowls. Truly a soup for every season. * BBC Good Food magazine * This book is a celebration of food that looks as good as it tastes. The yam and coconut soup is the colour of a sunburst, and the nettle soup with flowers looks like it came from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There are stocks, quick fixes - like roasted cherry tomato soup with salsa and flatbread and a vivid emerald-green watercress soup with crab toast - and bowls of broth from around the world. -- Eithne Farry * The Simple Things * The title of this book is enticing and you won't be disappointed once you open the pages. Nicole Pisani and Kate Adams turn soup into a magical experience. Every soup you can think of is included, hot, cold, thick, thin... it's a one-stop soup shop. You won't need another recipe book if you own this one. * Choice *
