Reviews for Hot Fat: A Deep Dive into Deep-Frying

Ever since I first heard that this book was in the works, I've been in a ferment of excitement. I know that air fryers are extremely popular these days, but I share with the authors here a belief that hot fat (rather than hot air) is where it's at! I bought myself an electric deep-fat fryer as a present in 2020, and it has brought consequent delight. So this most definitely is the book for me. And I just love it, from the glorious cover on. It's a small book, but one which brings huge pleasure: Black Pudding Scotch Eggs; Potato Pave; Korean Fried Chicken; Frickles (fried pickles, natch); Bacon and Cheese Croquettes; and, of course, chips are some of the joys within. - Nigella Lawson
