A genuinely useful collection of classic and fresh ideas for the most comforting meal of all, clearly written and beautifully photographed
Angela Clutton
What a brilliant book! Charlotte doesn't just give bowlfuls of recipes for soups to suit every mood but also the building blocks to create your own. The kind of book to trust and splatter with use.
