A book consisting of memoirs by well known broadcaster, author, columnist as well as restaurant critic, Grace Dent.
The storyline focuses on different parts of Grace's life with the main theme of food, feelings and people.
Grace was born and raised in Carlisle in Cumbria, England. She is the older child of working parents.
One of her fondest earliest memories is at the age of 7 making the warm, hearty 'Sketty' (Spaghetti Bolognese) with her dad in Carlisle. She also remembers her mum renovating their house as well as her dislike of Ready Brek, and playing with the neighborhood children.
The text is dated and it's written
well with thorough use of descriptions and feelings, especially humour. It's written as a diary account. It makes you feel as though you're experiencing the moments with Grace. It makes you also think about your own experiences with food and key events in your life.
I haven't read any books by Grace Dent but I've seen her on a variety of television shows, mostly on MasterChef. Having read this book, I'll be looking for more books written by her. This has giving me an insight into her upbringing and her love of food, surprisingly a good read.
