Clifford Wright has put together 300 mouthwatering recipes [in Real Stew] that I want to try in the next week! This is exactly what I feel like eating right now.
- David Rosengarten, host of TV Food Network

This vast compendium [Little Foods of the Mediterranean] encapsulates the type of Mediterranean food that I love: simple, tasty, unpretentious, and easy to eat. Whether they are tapas, meze, or antipasti, they represent Mediterranean street food at its best. I especially applaud Clifford Wright’s great research into the similarities and the differences among the little foods of the eighteen countries of the Mediterranean Basin.
- Jacques Pépin, chef, cookbook author, and public television show host
