Praise for First Bite:
‘Bee Wilson is the ultimate food scholar’ Yotam Ottolenghi
‘[A] call-to-arms manifesto to make eating guiltlessly pleasurable for all’ Nigella Lawson
‘If there were any justice in the world, this book should be at the top of this month's diet-book bestsellers … I agree with every word she writes' Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times
‘If any book can effect long-term weight loss, it should be this one, because it feeds the mind rather than denying the body’ The Times
‘First Bite is a brilliant read; a month after finishing it, I still think of it every time I set the table’ Observer Food Monthly

Most relevant
Generally probably better for those who crash diet and are looking for change in mentality or introduction to a more holistic approach. I was hoping for some hints and tips for healthy meals and possibly recipes rather than the bulk of this which is fairly common sense (eat to nourish, listen to your own body etc, no food is a sin, try and eat more veg yadder). Nicely read by the narrator.
