âDelicious.âTHE OBSERVER
From Frazzles to Foie Gras: a memoir of wanting more.
From an early age, Grace Dent was hungry. As a little girl growing up in Currock, Carlisle, she yearned to be something bigger, to go somewhere better.
traces Graceâs story from growing up eating beige food to becoming one of the much-loved voices on the British food scene. Itâs also everyoneâs story â from treats with your nan, to cheese and pineapple hedgehogs, to the exquisite joy of cheaply-made apple crumble with custard. Itâs the high-point of a chip butty covered in vinegar and too much salt in the school canteen, on an otherwise grey day of double-Maths and cross country running. Itâs the real story of how we have all lived, laughed, and eaten over the past 40 years.Hungry
Warm, funny and joyous, is also about love and loss, the central role that food plays in all our lives, and how a Cadburyâs Fruit ânâ Nut in a hospital vending machine can brighten the toughest situation.Hungry
