Description
Britain's most popular cook describes his personal culinary odyssey, from dangerous encounters with his mother's weevil-seasoned cakes to being harangued by readers who think he deliberately styles Yorkshire puddings to look like a woman's private parts.
Hilarious, irreverent, and mouthwatering, Toast captures 30 years of British cooking and the recipes that we have grown up with since the days when a grilled grapefruit was the last word in dinner party chic. Everyone has gorged on cake mix, endured disastrous dinner parties, and put up with the loved one who can only ever produce burnt toast. Nigel Slater is no different.
Hair-raising accounts of hotels modeled on Fawlty Towers, the mystery of the disappearing condom and the seafood cocktail, and many more, take readers behind the scenes of British cuisine to reveal the unlikely origins of our foremost cook.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"[ Toast] achieves a remarkable freshness...and [Nigel Slater] also reveals a gift for doleful, Alan Bennet-like comedy." ( The Guardian)

Slowed down to listen
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Nigel Slater's Toast. Sharing snippets of his life via the food associated with each memorable incident, so that we had a picture of the makings of him; it was so clever and poignant. I intended to listen as I tidied the house and prepared food, but I kept sitting down and just listening. It was that good.

Moving and makes you hungry
A superhero origins story of how a lonely boy who lost his mother ultimately became one of the great food writers.
As expected, Slater writes beautifully concise yet evocative prose, and this book will give those of us who grew up in Britain in the 70s multiple Proustian flashbacks of long-forgotten food items.
Slater isn't a particularly good reader (too many wrongly-stressed words for my taste), but it doesn't matter too much because his personal stake in the writing makes it extremely moving.

not quite what I have expected
did well describing every bit of detail and wonderfully narrating the material. yet the content was not quite what you would expect of a autobiography of this guy!
