Small Pleasures is actually a huge pleasure. It’s a gorgeous book that jumps up at you, hugs you, and kisses you on both cheeks. Brilliantly simple recipes and full of Ryan Riley’s infectious love for life and food. Joyful.

This is a book of total comfort. No-hassle, delicious, time-saving recipes with Ryan’s signature flavours – spot on!

This wonderful joyous collection of recipes has an elemental appreciation of the power food can have on us all when cooked with love. Whatever life brings to your table, there is kindness in every turn of the page. I enjoyed this book immensely. Well done Ryan, your mam would be enormously proud.

A blissful blast of big, bold flavours, with recipes that nourish both belly and soul.

Small Pleasures is a feel-good read for any food lover and a gentle guide back to normality, where Riley asks the reader to remember one thing: "You deserve it".
