Description
Nigel Slater's memoir of a childhood remembered through food is a vivid and moving portrayal of daily life in suburban England during the 1960s and 1970s. Through the lens of his relationship with food, Slater recreates his experiences of growing up, adolescence, and sexual awakening. With a focus on the small, often overlooked moments of his childhood, such as the ritual burning of toast, this memoir is a poignant and beautifully written exploration of the power of food to evoke emotions and memories.
