Not simply a social media sensation but, heartwarmingly, the actual, real thing ... Beneath the high-octane, brightly coloured pages, and the exclamatory, I'm-talking-to-my-mates informality of the recipe introductions (which, I hasten to add, are endearing rather than irritating) is a disciplined chef with a deep love for home cooking and a you-can-do-it gift for encouraging that most important quality in cooking, confidence. If I had a child at Uni who was struggling to feed her or himself, this is the book I'd be putting in their stocking this Christmas ... Makes you want to go skipping into the kitchen to cook ... She is the High Priestess of The Potato.

Even if you're used to watching her, rather than reading cookbooks, you need Poppy Cooks because this woman knows her stuff. O'Toole is admirably candid and a first-class enabler.
