I notice Toast by Nigel Slater is on the list, it's an autobiography, and it's wonderful, funny, a bit shocking and very entertaining. I bought Feast by Nigella Lawson, and adore it.
Ishbel, Clarissa's bookshop is no more, she is declaring bankrupt and has been shedding assets (she has done this before) and liquidated the shop, didn't sell it as a going concern. She hasn't ruled out opening another one some time, but unfortunately, it's gone. I never got to go there.
Interesting that Fergus Henderson's book "the Whole beast" is renamed in America. In England it is published as Nose to Tail Eating!!!
I am reading Nigel Slater's Appetite, which is a cookbook unlike his autobiography which doesn't have a recipe in it, and am enjoying that just as much!!!
