Format:Hardcover
Whilst this is the book that every gastronome lusts for, it, and indeed the writer, does not deliver anything special. Various inaccuracies, slurring writing style and little of the 'wit' that is promised, the book is inconsistent in content and lacking in charisma.
It's as if the shiny silver cloche of the cover lifts off to reveal a rather tasteless piece of steamed dreariness.
Better stick to Schott's food & wine miscellany for fact and Giles Coren's reviews for funny.

Written by an expert in the food world this light-hearted but informative book makes excellent bedtime reading and reference material.

A riveting read even for someone who already considers themselves an arch foodie.
What's more it made me laugh out loud as I recognised some of the more
eccentric habits of the committed foodie exposed.
