Engaging ... appeals to three national obsessions: the preparation and presentation of food; the lost world of great households, above and below stairs; and the private life of a national hero, Churchill * The Times *
Victory in the Kitchen ... recreates a corner of early 20th-century domestic life * Spectator *
