“An all-time classic. The book I’m happy to return to, over and over again. It’s an utter joy to cook from, as it is to dig deep into the stories” – Yotam Ottolenghi
“Diana Henry manages to guide you through recipes with very little instruction, because she’s so precise with her working” – NEW YORK TIMES
In Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons, Diana Henry has gathered together dishes that combine flavours in ways long forgotten – or not yet discovered – in many Western kitchens. Colourful, aromatic and perfumed ingredients, from leathery pomegranates with their insides bursting with ruby seeds, to flower-waters that allow you to drink in the scent of a garden, combine to bring an intoxicating whiff of warmer climes to your table and pleasure to your kitchen.
