Delicious. THE OBSERVER
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.
Hungrytraces her story from growing up eating beige food to becoming one of Britains best-loved food writers. Its also everyones story from cheese and pineapple hedgehogs and treats with your nan, to the exquisite joy of a chip butty covered in vinegar and too much salt in the school canteen on a grey day. And the Cadburys Fruit & Nut from a hospital vending machine that tells a loved one you really care.
Graces snapshot of how we have lived, laughed and eaten over the past 40 years reveals the central role food plays in either bringing us together or driving us apart from toasting a large glass of warm Merlot to grimly polishing off a wilted salad.
Heartfelt, witty and joyous,Hungryshows us what weve always known to be true. Food, friends and family are the indispensable ingredients of a life well lived.
