The sense of place and time, wonder and friendship, the sheer joy of generosity and giving and pleasing are all beautifully woven together. The love and respect you have for each other shines through on every page as you recall adventures and dishes and people and instances galore through the years together creating an idyll on a canal. This book, inspiring as it is useful, is a masterclass in the good things in life. Jeremy Lee

When people ask about my favorite restaurants, I instantly think of Towpath. Warm, quirky, intimate, it’s a restaurant you never want to leave. This cookbook is the same: personal, inviting and filled with fantastically appealing food. If I can’t get to Towpath, it’s the next best thing. Ruth Reichl

Towpath is one of the reasons I live in London. It’s a jewel-like, dream of a place. This book is an invite into their magical world. Keira Knightley

It’s a very standard thing to say ‘I’ve read this book from cover to cover and I want to cook every dish in it’, so I never say it. But this time - I have read and re-read this cookbook and I want to go full on ‘Julie and Julia’ on it and cook a dish every day until I have cooked every single one. I will get multiple copies, cook from them all and will pass them on to my sons. Olia Hercules

Lori & Laura are a magical team with the ability and flair to know what is right, beautiful and tasty. This book is packed full of food you want to know and cook. We suggest you dive in and cook up a Towpath feast. Fergus & Margot Henderson

Towpath is the definition of community and has become our veritable home away from home. Lori, Laura and their team have found a way to slow down time just to the right speed. Peter Doig

Unique, charming and delicious in equal measure. Sam & Sam Clark

Towpath is what it’s all about. Family, community, friendships, sensational food in an unlikely spot.  It’s my family’s happy place. Tracey Ullman

Towpath is my absolute favourite place in London to eat out and pass time. This book will sit close to my stove forever, becoming more stained, splattered and thumb-worn as each season passes. Ed Smith

A book of stories and recipes for honest, unfussy food that sings of its season, and of the intelligence, love and companionship that is at the heart of Laura and Lori's Towpath. Rachel Roddy

Lori and Laura have created a place uncommonly genuine and nourishing in every sense of the word. Kate & Lee Tiernan
