Summer Kitchens is a complete revelation. This wonderful book is such a stunningly beautiful evocation of spirit of place and sensibility, and I long to cook my way through it

Nigella Lawson

This is an important book. As a record of a way of life that wastes nothing and respects people, land and season, delight in the old ways runs through it like a silver thread. Wonderful stuff, and timely

Elisabeth Luard

What a wonderful world Olia and this book transport us to. Pure magic in its recipes and its storytelling

Anna Jones

Reading my way through Summer Kitchens has set me off falling in love with Ukraine. I've never been there but Olia's beautiful words, her do-able and delicious sounding recipes, and the snapshots and scenery are all absorbing. I'm so pleased she is sharing these culinary secrets
