«Toast: The Story of a Boy’s Hunger» is Nigel Slater's gastronomic autobiography, published by Harper Perennial in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Nigel Slater reconstructs his childhood through food: he remembers his mother's rice pudding, the Boxing Day stew and the spaghetti his father cooked for the first time. Dishes like Arctic Roll or grilled grapefruit, then a status symbol in Wolverhampton, serve to portray everyday life in suburban England in the sixties.
The work is part of the Stranger Than… collection from Harper Perennial.
For readers of memoirs and food writing with an interest in sixties England.
Nigel Slater is an English food writer, journalist and broadcaster. He has written a column for The Observer Magazine for more than a decade and is the principal writer for the Observer Food Monthly supplement. Prior to this, Slater was a food writer for Marie Claire magazine for five years.
