Review
'The recipes are fabulously greed inducing, the writing is firm and compelling' - Nigella Lawson (Nigella.com )
‘Much more than a cookery book. McLagan explains and debunks the received wisdom about how bad fat is for us, and serves up her recipes with palate cleansers of historic, literary and folkloric fat facts.’ - Sophie Morris (The Independent )
‘I’ve been salivating over (this) fascinating and brave book’ - Alex Renton (The Times )

`It is certainly a book worth reading. The recipes are fabulously greed-inducing and the writing, while it has a light touch, is firm and compelling'

This detailed and authoritative book gives real information about fat in our diets. It celebrates the deliciousness of fat and explains the different sorts of fats and their real effect on us.
If only some of the institutionalised nutritionists who blindly proclaim all fat bad and to be avoided would read it and reconsider their blanket advice more people would rediscover the joy of food and cooking properly, - and probably lose weight and improve their health as a result.
And it is a beautiful book!

At last there is someone who is prepared to put pen to paper and justify the benefits of animal fat which has been naturally produced. This is an excellent, informative and sensible book which clearly explains why we should be using animal fats in our diet. A superbly presented book, every home should have one and every cook read it!

Jennifer McLagan has put me back in touch with enjoying and appreciating food. She's full of well-researched calm common sense - something sorely lacking in the hysterial "obesity epidemic" headlines that seem to scold us like clueless, greedy children. Instead of alientating us from food, she celebrates the goodness, history, pleasure and benefits of eating wonderful ingredients.
Fat is a welcome return to the ingrained wisdom we used to have about the food we ate before over-processing and misinformation made eating and cooking full of guilt and consequence.
Her recipes are absolutely delish, well laid out and easy to follow. She's totally changed my relationship with food and she's made me a much better cook. Fat is a book I'm constantly going back to not only for the recipes, but also for reassuring sanity checks - from a person who truly knows - and refreshingly likes - food.
Grand stuff.

Buy it - if you like meat, butter and lard
This is a great great book. Makes you realise it's better to eat/cook with lard etc than it is with a lot of other things. Read more
