How to Butter Toast

‘I can't think of many food authorities who can string together words which are as poignant and profound as they are entertaining and ear-pleasing.’ Yotam Ottolenghi ‘Fun and wise, Tara manages to capture the kinds of the things we cogitate about – sometimes without even knowing! – and provides reassuring answers to those confusing everyday conundrums. A collection for when you are weary of recipes and cooking, but not of life itself!’ Helen Goh ‘Gorgeous new book by the lovely Tara, full of useful cooking tips and tricks for so many different everyday meals and very tastefully done in gentle rhyme form! Love the uniqueness of this gorgeous little guide, great for family cooking, too!’ Sabrina Ghayour ‘Discovered Tara in lockdown and [she] made me laugh out loud which was much needed at the time, so I'm very pleased to see there's now a whole book of rhyming recipes.’ Claire Thomson AKA 5oclockapron ‘Those who have followed her ditties on Insta since Lockdown will be delighted, but the detail, the skill, the Ballymaloe cookery school training, the years as co-writer with Yotam at Ottolenghi will save serious cooks a fortune in cookery school fees. How she manages to explain chemistry in rhyme is little short of genius.’ Gilly Smith ‘In just a couple of hours reading it, I feel l've learned more than from reading dozens of recipes. It's something to dip into and return to with delight. A lovely kitchen companion.’ Bee Wilson ‘If you love reading cookbooks as bookbooks then then this is for you.’ Georgie Hayden  ‘An ingenious, original, rhyming cookbook.’ Dominique Woolf, winner of The Great Cookbook Challenge with Jamie Oliver ‘Tara's new book which is bound to be brilliant. Can't wait to read it over martinis and poached eggs (probs not together).’ Angela Clutton
