We are living in a TikTok world - and Ruby Tandoh is the translator and tour guide we desperately need... A funny and freeing read
- Pandora Sykes, Sunday Times, Style Magazine
A book that pays serious attention to the pop-culture side of food... Most chapters have the heft of an academic dissertation, but delivered with the easy, narrative charm of a great magazine writer.

A razor-sharp look at our edible world... All Consuming has deft observations that, once stated, you kick yourself for not noticing

I loved this book and nodded empathically through each chapter
