Editorial Review	[U]nflinching, sardonic, edgy... direct, sometimes harsh and almost always funny. -Washington Post Online "Martin Parr's glorious photos of bad food won't make you hungry. They might even nauseate you. But you won't be able to look away. His new book, with the wry title Real Food, is gut-busting celebration of everything your mother would never let you eat." -Wired Online "Martin Parr's Real Food is an eye-opening and excellent commentary on the world of food photography." -The Phoblographer "There is still a silent majority in this country who favour a Jammie Dodger over a chia seed pudding, thanks very much." -The Guardian "It's a gastronomic joy to flick through the saturated pages and the photographer's images have been deliciously paired together, creating a dialogue within the wordless book." -Itsnicethat "Garish and outlandish, refined and processed grub shot over the past 25 years." -Jocks and Nerds "Martin's foodie photographs are a bit less flattering - and much more revealing." -TheSun "It's a lot less glamorous than what you might see on Instagram." -BusinessInsider "It might not have you smacking your lips as much as a flick through Nigella's latest, but we can all agree that is certainly more fun." -Refinery29 "Food is [Parr's] focus here and it's a good subject on which he can go full-Parr." -Monocle "Tired of food photos on Instagram? Take a look at these real pics from a master photographer." -The Indian Express "You can keep your smashed avocados on artisanal bread, photographer Martin Parr's new book pays tribute to real food." -Esquire "This book is by turns sweet and sardonic with a must-read forward by chef Fergus Henderson." -Delicious "A terrific introduction from St John's Fergus Henderson." -Observer Food Monthly "This is a book I devoured." -Bloomberg "Irrepressibly naughty and tongue-in-cheek." -Somethingaboutmagazine "Martin Parr's hard-flashed, bright and colorful but totally inedible food photos... Keep you coming back for seconds." -Bon Appetit "Martin Parr's collection of food snapshots shows off his uncanny ability to mix pleasure and horror." -CityLab "Parr celebrates a democratic kind of authenticity in food." -PDN "Everyday meals are transformed into witty photographs." -Red "You'll never look at a hot dog the same way again." -AnOthermag "Garish and at times gross, the saturated shots portray cuisine in a fashion only Martin can accomplish." -ItsNiceThat "A kaleidoscopic view [...] hotdogs, buns, pies, you name it... It's appropriate to treat the book as documentary project... It fits perfectly into Parr's habit of finding the everyday items of a culture that speak volumes about the politics and culture surrounding them."-Amateur Photographer
