“As with all life stories, the individual details make it
extraordinary—and in Anne Else’s case the details are more
extraordinary than many.” —Ruth Nichol, New Zealand Books
“I fell in love with the style of this book from the start . . . it
is an absolute delight to read this delicate morsel of a book that
leaves a lingering taste of a meal lovingly shared and
enjoyed.” —Elisabeth Marrow, Daily Post
“She has the writer’s instinct for a good story and the editor’s
keen eye for accuracy and brevity. . . . This is a disarmingly
intimate life account that fast forwards and winds back as she
savors and suffers a life of friendship, motherhood, love, loss and
mealtimes.” —Susette Goldsmith, Listener
“The only thing it left me wanting was more. Like a good meal, I
just didn’t want it to stop. It felt like a real privilege to read
such and intimate and honest story.” —Sue Kerr, Five Course
Garden
“Anne Else writes beautifully about food memories, good and bad,
and interweaves funny, interesting, and at times sad stories about
people in her life. The recipes mentioned are collected at the end,
by the time you finish this life-affirming memoir, you’ll feel like
those recipes have been passed on by an old friend.” —Shelley
Howells, Kia Ora
“After flicking through just a couple of pages The Colour of Food
had me hooked . . . it reads like a novel, but it is real, touching
and insightful. . . . An absolute gem.” —Nom Nom Panda
“I hadn’t quite anticipated how [Else] would draw me in with her
incredibly vivid storytelling—I ended up reading the whole thing in
less than 24 hours. . . . Her experiences are rich and varied, she
is open and honest, and the emotions—at both ends of the
spectrum—reach out of the book and grab you the whole way
through.” —Rosa Slack, The Culinary Explorations of Mrs
Cake
"Seriously good writing is Anne’s staple, with well-blended
handfuls of humour, social commentary and a couple of dozen recipes
included." —Ruth Brassington, Scoop
