'A sensual feast of a novel, written with elegance, beauty, charm
and skill in a voice that is both lyrical and unique. The Language
of Food is an intriguing story with characters that leap off the
page and live, but what sets it apart from it's contemporaries is
Abbs' outstanding prose' Santa Montefiore Eliza Acton, despite
having never before boiled an egg, became one of the world's most
successful cookery writers, revolutionizing cooking and cookbooks
around the world. Her story is fascinating, uplifting and truly
inspiring. Told in alternate voices by the award-winning author of
The Joyce Girl, and with recipes that leap to life from the page,
The Language of Food by Annabel Abbs is the most thought-provoking
and page-turning historical novel you'll read this year, exploring
the enduring struggle for female freedom, the power of female
friendship, the creativity and quiet joy of cooking and the poetry
of food, all while bringing Eliza Action out of the archives and
back into the public eye. 'I love Abbs's writing and the
extraordinary, hidden stories she unearths. Eliza Acton is her best
discovery yet' Clare Pooley 'A feast for the senses, rich with the
flavours of Victorian England, I prepared every dish with Eliza and
Ann and devoured every page. A literary - and culinary - triumph!'
Hazel Gaynor 'Exhilarating to read - thoughtful, heart-warming and
poignant, with a quiet intelligence and elegance that does its
heroine proud' Bridget Collins 'A sumptuous banquet of a book that
nourished me and satisfied me just as Eliza Acton's meals would
have... I adored it' Polly Crosby 'An effervescent novel, bursting
with delectable language and elegant details about cookbook writer,
Eliza Acton. Don't miss this intimate glimpse into the early
English kitchens and snapshot of food history' Sara Dahmen
'Wonderful... Abbs is such a good story teller. She catches period
atmosphere and character so well' Vanessa Nicolson 'Two of my
favourite topics in one elegantly written novel - women's lives and
food history. I absolutely loved it' Polly Russell 'A story of
courage, unlikely friendship and an exceptional character, told in
vibrant and immersive prose' Caroline Scott 'Richly imagined and
emotionally tender' Pen Vogler 'Characters that leap off the page,
a fascinating story and so much atmosphere, you feel you're in the
kitchen with Eliza - I loved it.' Frances Quinn 'I was inspired by
Eliza's passion, her independence, her bravery and ambition. Like a
cook's pantry, The Language of Food is full of wonderful
ingredients, exciting possibilities and secrets. Full of warmth and
as comforting as sitting by the kitchen range, I loved it' Jo
Thomas 'A delightful read' Nina Pottell 'Clever, unsentimental,
beautifully detailed and quietly riveting' Elizabeth Buchan, author
of Two Women in Rome 'A wonderful read' John Torode England 1835.
Eliza Acton is a poet who dreams of seeing her words in print. But
when she takes her new manuscript to a publisher, she's told that
'poetry is not the business of a lady'. Instead, they want her to
write a cookery book. That's what readers really want from women.
England is awash with exciting new ingredients, from spices to
exotic fruits. But no one knows how to use them Eliza leaves the
offices appalled. But when her father is forced to flee the country
for bankruptcy, she has no choice but to consider the proposal.
Never having cooked before, she is determined to learn and to
discover, if she can, the poetry in recipe writing. To assist her,
she hires seventeen-year-old Ann Kirby, the impoverished daughter
of a war-crippled father and a mother with dementia. Over the
course of ten years, Eliza and Ann developed an unusual friendship
- one that crossed social classes and divides - and, together, they
broke the mould of traditional cookbooks and changed the course of
cookery writing forever.
