Product Description
Review
A fascinating read about a writer/gardener you will love to hate. -- Marianne Binetti Seattle Post-Intelligencer 20061127
Product Description
"Down the Kitchen Sink" has much in common with its famous predecessor, "Down the Garden Path", in which Beverley Nichols described his early forays into the realm of gardening. When he began to write the first, he could not prune a rose. When he began to write the second, he could not boil an egg. Perhaps this is why both books remain fresh and eminently readable. The phrase 'kitchen sink' may suggest squalor and disillusionment, but Beverley Nichols transforms it into a symbol of merriment and adventure. With a new foreword by Roy Dicks and Val Biro's charming drawings, the Timber Press edition of "Down the Kitchen Sink" deservedly takes its place among Beverley's classics on gardens, homes, cats, and other friends.

A wonderful read with a cat on your lap.
6 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
I am a great fan of Beverly Nichols, so I am always excited to see one of his books reprinted. I enjoyed this look into an era long gone. His gardening books gave you a glimpse of Gaskin but this book presented a picture of the real person, not just the perfect servant. I like Nichols' wry humour and every cat lover will feel they have met a kindred spirit.

Another charming book!
11 Sep 2006
Format:Hardcover
If you've enjoyed other books by Beverley Nichols or those by P.G. Wodehouse, this is a book for you. The charming recipes and antedotes make for a delightful reading experience. This book is worth the cost for the Mayonnaisse chapter alone!

Something was missing from this book....
26 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
I have enjoyed reading most of Beverley Nichol's books on his houses and his gardening. I had high hopes for this one but came away disappointed.
This is close to his last book and maybe he was old and tired and bitter. He was too sarcastic and he even related a dirty joke that was not in the least bit funny. Not enough about his cats, either. The recipes were interesting but not practical for most people. Fans of Mr. Nichol's should read it but don't expect too much.
