Critics Review

  • Deft storytelling, deep research and real wisdom about how we actually eat

    Guardian Books of the Year 2022
  • Delightful

    Waitrose Food
  • Another brilliant book from food writer Laura Goodman . . . Funny, joyful and packed with deliciousness

    Cambridge Edition
  • 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
  • Laura Goodman is a simply perfect food writer and everything she does is a dream

    Ella Risbridger
  • There are few food writers as witty and informed as Laura, and I (unsurprisingly to me) devoured this book. She also happens to have great taste, so I will be making most of these dips immediately.
