So very hard to pick which of Diana's books to include, they're all epics and favourites. Full of adventure, inspiration and vibrant ingredients. Diana writes with so much passion,it's as though she's right there in the room with you.

I could have chosen any of Diana Henry’s brilliant books but this is the one that made me want to be a food writer. The title, pictures and vibrant flavours all felt game changing when it was released. It is just as inspiring today.

Julia Platt Leonard

I'd take any of Diana's books but this one changed the way I thought about food. Sumac and lebneh and things that were exotic and delicious. Plus she is a real writer's writer. A book that is lovely to cook from and to simply read.

Diana’s writing is some of the best out there. This is the first cook book I bought after I got married, and it took me on a magic carpet ride into Middle Eastern flavour.
