Goodreads review by Lulufrances on May 30, 2024

Actual rating 4.5 Did I frown when I read the last chapter‘s title - „You are now leaving Snacktown“? Yes of course I did. I don‘t want to leave snacktown (ever) and I don‘t want to leave this book. This spoke to me on all the (snack) levels and I‘ll be even more grateful for every salt and vinegar......more

Goodreads review by Miriam on July 28, 2023

Right up my street. Love snacks. Love the random thought trains about snacks. Love the recipes. I squealed when I realised someone else agreed with my theory about McDonalds being a snack - and even better had come up with a name for it.......more

Goodreads review by Sarah AF on August 23, 2024

I think I have found my icon in life. 😍 I love snacks, they're one of the great joys in life (and this is no exaggeration) and to have a book that pays tribute to them is the dream. Better than that though, RECIPES! I took so many screenshots on my Kindle, ready to put my culinary talents to use in p......more

Goodreads review by Niamh on September 12, 2023

I stopped and started this so many times, but it was a 'right place right time' kind of book - and it was a very comforting little read once I'd struggled through the first 10 days of September. Honestly, made me want a snack, and isn't that the whole point?......more

Delightful Waitrose Food

Another brilliant book from food writer Laura Goodman . . . Funny, joyful and packed with deliciousness Cambridge Edition

As moreish as the snacks it celebrates, The Joy of Snacks is a smart, funny and moving meditation on the little things that make life great. I loved it. Ruby Tandoh

Laura Goodman is a simply perfect food writer and everything she does is a dream Ella Risbridger

There are few food writers as witty and informed as Laura, and I (unsurprisingly to me) devoured this book. She also happens to have great taste, so I will be making most of these dips immediately. Georgina Hayden

It's so refreshing to read a cookbook that makes me laugh! Laura does the near impossible; her food and her good humour are as delicious in real life as on the page Alice Levine

An utterly joyful read. I cannot think of a nicer afternoon than to settle down with this book and a variety of snacks alongside. Rukmini Iyer

Naked, unashamed and witty, Laura Goodman delights, tempts and insults our intestines with raucous, dangerous and surprising suggestions Miriam Margolyes
