Toast, By Nigel Slater

Thursday, 30. October 2008, 13:18:11

Autobiography, Non-Fiction, Adult

Nigel Slater's autobiography manages to tackle the business of writing a biography by sneaking up on it sideways. I know this is a rather peculiar statement, but the fact remaints that the biography bit is completely wrapped up in stories about food. Don't let that put you off though. Toast is funny, heartwarming and slightly tragic.

And it will make you hungry.....

Autobiography, Travel

I loved Annie Hawes' last two books and I love this one too. Her quirky sense of humour shines through every page. The book mixes anecdotes, first hand observation and local history with charm and with to make a place that I will probably never go come alive to me.

Be warned: this is not a book for compulsive eaters! The descriptions of italian cooking almost made me dribble!

Read It
