Editorial Reviews

We’re obsessed with Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley’s book Good + Simple because it’s, well, good and simple.” —Harper's BAZAAR on Good and SImple


"But their book is less a wily approach to monasticism and self-denial—which is everything I am allergic to—and more a celebration of the yummy things one can eat." —Vogue on The Art of Eating Well
