Absolutely brilliant. This book had me SOBBING by the end. Really funny in parts, yet absolutely heartbreaking.

Love, love, love.
There is so much honesty here, it‘s almost overwhelming at times. Grace Dent talks with candour about how much she has enjoyed her time and what it means to a girl from Carlisle to be the restaurant critic on a national newspaper, even without a Maths GCSE. This book chimes with people who grew up in a house very small, with woodchip on the wall. I can‘t help feeling a little jealous at a vestibule though.

I‘ve been reading rave reviews people in England seem to love her and her book a memoir from childhood by one of Britain‘s most popular food writers,-I think this is being made into a tv series.

I knew aboslutely nothing about this lady, I didn't even clock her being on tv but it was recommended to me so gave it a go.
I really enjoyed it, such a good read.
Far from being well versed in food which is the field she ended up in she came from such a humble background where food was considered more of a fuel than a luxury.
This was at times very sad, touching and very emotional.

lazydaizee I enjoyed reading this book too . I did not know the author before reading this book. 4y

I really enjoyed this, I had heard of Grace and saw her on TV once or twice but knew little of her or her background as a person.
It really surprised me to know she came form such humble beginnings and had such an interesting childhood.
Grace absolutely loved food from an early age, every little eatable treat is discussed and remembered so vividly, fish and chips, bottles of pop, chocolate bars.
Food was her life and even more so as an adult.
