'People think it's easy to write well about food. It isn't. Goodman does it brilliantly, with brio and wit as well as cleverness. This is a collection of essays, recipes and meditations about snacks and it is both joyous and useful.'
India Knight, The Times
'Deft storytelling, deep research and real wisdom about how we actually eat'
Rachel Roddy, Guardian Books of the Year 2022
'As moreish as the snacks it celebrates, The Joy of Snacks is a smart, funny and moving meditation on the little things that make life great. I loved it.'
Ruby Tandoh
