WILD GARLIC

Testimonials for Wild Garlic

"Wild Garlic is wonderful. When I cooked one of our favourites, the turmeric chicken, for a French family, their two teenage sons prounounced it the best chicken they'd ever eaten - and cooked by a Brit, no less! Incroyable."

.... John Thackara



"I felt I had to write to you to say how much I have enjoyed reading your book ‘Wild Garlic’. In fact, once I started reading it, I could hardly bear to put it down! The photography is superb, and the recipes wonderfully varied. You write in such a beautiful way, linking the story of your life with the friends and family you have acquired along the way plus sharing your culinary insights with the reader. What an inspired idea it was to write down your culinary memoirs in this way; I am off to Brittany soon to visit my mother and I shall be taking your book with me."

.....Julia James

"I think you have been so clever to produce such a fascinating and beautifully laid out book.  Everyone I have shown it to loves it.   I gave copies to my sisters in Australia when I was there over Christmas and New Year and they have passed it round their friends in and around Perth, Western Australia, all of whom love it too and want to buy copies.  It must have been an awful lot of hard work, but so worth it, its a real coffee table book, as well as having some marvelous recipes, we tried quite a few in Australia and loved them all.”

From Alan:

"I'm forwarding you a copy of a note I received earlier this evening from my friend Gerry in Atlanta.  If you remember, I sent her a copy of your mother's book for Christmas. Apparently, she is so enamored of it that she in turn wants to give it to a friend of hers. She's asking if I can act as the facilitator. So the question is: do you have another copy available for sale?" 

Dear Alan:

As I told you before, I love WILD GARLIC--------so much so that I would like to get a copy for Mary James. I think she would love it too. So, can you be the facilitator for my getting a book for her??  I would so appreciate!

Love, Gerry

"I made the chick pea and tuna dish this weekend...dollop of harrissa at the end.....yummm...thanks to you and your mum for the recipe"

" We were one couple among many who enjoyed meeting you at the Languadoc Sun fair this summer. We have so enjoyed the copy of "Wild Garlic" we bought that we wish we'd taken advantage of your offer to buy more so that we could give it as presents. We write in the hope that you can tell us either where we might buy the book."

.....Wendy and David Morgan

"Dear All - Met Peggy Tolleson the writer of "Wild Garlic" at the Christmas Cracker Fair last Sunday. Bought her book and I have read it from cover to cover and found it very interesting, well written and beautifully illustrated. The book also makes a lovely present to give anyone. Go and look at the website www.wildgarlicbook.com I gave her both your email addresses as she might be interested in coming to Lodève to the Library to sell and sign her book. I will leave it up to you to see how it can benefit both parties. She lives near Ganges, so it would have to be organised in advance - too far for her to just pop in. All the best"
