Review

'Acutely observed, poignant and beautifully written…Slater tells his heartbreaking story with great subtlety. The theme of food and love is a fascinating one and I have never seen it better handled.' Daily Telegraph

'He recreates with moving honesty and laugh-out-loud comedy the hopes and fears of boyhood. Remarkable.' Observer

'”Toast” connects emotions, memory and taste buds. Genius.' Lynne Truss, Sunday Times

'A talent for prose as simple and pleasurable as his recipes.’ Sunday Telegraph

'Exquisitely written…You read this remarkable memoir partly cringing, partly marvelling at Slater’s hallucinogenic retrieval of times past. He is the Proust of the Nesquik era.' Independent

'It achieves a remarkable freshness…[and] reveals a gift for doleful, Alan Bennett-like comedy.' Guardian

‘This touching memoir proves [Slater] is more than a cookery writer. Its emotional impact will touch a chord with many.’ Sunday Mirror

‘Wonderful, precise…extraordinary.’ Matthew Fort

‘It’s bitter-sweet, it’s a book to be consumed in a single sitting, a book that slips down really nicely. However you want to put it, “Toast” is delicious.’ The Oldie

'This book should be treasured for its prose…and for its vision of a world seen through the senses.' Independent on Sunday

'[A] touching odyssey through childhood tastes, treats and tortures.' Sunday Times

'Toast is served up with seasoning and flair…Vivid and moving.' Observer

Sunday Mirror, Best of Christmas Books
'This touching memoir proves Nigel Slater's more than a cookery writer. Its emotional impact will strike a chord with many.'

Independent
