Fiona MacCarthy wrote in The Times that, the book is a large and grandiose life history, a passionate narrative of extremes of experience. Jeremy Round called Patience Gray the high priestess of cooking , whose book pushes the form of the cookery book as far as it can go. Angela Carter remarked that it was less a cookery book that a summing-up of the genre of the late-modern British cookery book. The work has attracted a cult following in the United States, where passages have been read out at great length on the radio; and it has been anthologized by Paul Levy in The Penguin Book of Food and Drink. It was given a special award by the André Simon Book Prize committee in 1987. The author, Patience Gray, for 20 years shared her life with a sculptor, whose appetite for marble and sedimentary rocks took them to Tuscany, Catalonia, Naxos and Apulia. She wrote a passionate autobiographical cookbook, Mediterranean through and through and as compelling as a first class novel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65060866064761,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/0095\/9353\/files\/honey_from_a_weed__08529.jpg?v=1793453030","url":"https:\/\/shop.theorganiccentre.ie\/products\/honey-from-a-weed","provider":"The Organic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
