Customer Reviews

NO PICTURES - Rated 3/5
I am a very new home cook and found that the lack of pictures in this book was very off putting. They are good recipes if you are an experienced cook, but is always nice to compare your dish with the one in the picture.


A BOOK not just about SOUP, but what to have in it and with it, too - Rated 4/5
`Soups, both classic and new, from all over the world.
Some from top chefs, restaurants and cookery writers are combined with the author's own innovative ideas.
Whether you are an expert cook or a novice, there are countless soups here that you can make, enjoy and share, whatever the occasion.'

Rear cover note from Nigel Slater, in the Observer :-
`If I could buy only one book this year it would be Lindsey Bareham's `A Celebration of Soup'...an encyclopaedic collection'.

398 pages in this typical PENGUIN COOKERY LIBRARY published paperback book split over three Main chapters:-

`The Foundations of Soup-Making'
`The Embellishment of Soup'
`Types of Soup'

With sections on:
`The History of Soup`, `Soup as a healthy way of life`, `Drinks with Soup`, plus conversion tables, a trouble shooting guide for when your soup turns out less than perfect - all sandwiched between an introduction, a glossary and a concise index which highlights vegetarian and fish/shellfish only recipes.

This is a seriously written book with no pictures other than the cover.

Handy notes, sometimes informative, head up each recipe, e.g:-

`Wakame Soup'
`Wakame' a seaweed popular in Japanese cookery, is rich in vitamins B1 and B12, and eaten regularly, will improve the quality of hair. It is reputed to help the body eliminate the effects on animal foods.

`Spring Tonic Soup'
This soup celebrated the arrival of Spring with a marriage of seasonal vegetables and herbs. Most like sorrel, spinach and nettles, are thought to cleanse the blood. The ingredients can be adapted to whatever is available.'

No need to buy another... - Rated 5/5
soup book again. Hundreds of recipes in sensible sections. Advice on stock making, equipment, ingredients and a troubleshooting section for those "don't tell anyone moments".
A classic.


A brilliant book on soups. - Rated 5/5
I have to agree with all the other reviews of this book.. It is brilliant.

I had only a little previous experience of making soups before, so I am no expert, however I've cooked about 6 soups from this book (that's about 1/100th of those in the book) and all have been exceptional (Well, the banana curry soup caused a bit of stir, not everyone's taste :-). I will shortly be ordering a copy of this book for each of my close friends that appreciate good food! - It will save me copying out recipes in the long run :-)


Brilliant - Rated 5/5
This is an absolute must-have for any self-respecting food enthusiast. Lindsey Bareham is one of the best food writers you could wish to read - all of her books are an inspiration. A celebration of soup is just that, a joyful evocation of soups from deeply comforting stews through to delicate broths. A classic.
