This is the perfect read to shake off any diet craze intentions in preparation for the coming beach and swimming pool season. Ruby Tandoh writes about food with such love and passion, that will make you savour your next meal as if it were a five-star composition after a week of plain watery soup. The former Great British Bake Off finalist has since brought out several cookbooks including Crumb and Cook As You Are, as well as being published in magazines and newspapers, such as The Guardian or The New Yorker. In her in-depth exploration of what we eat and why we eat, Tandoh takes a look at food culture from all kinds of different perspectives, without ever sounding condescending or narrow-minded. She reflects on childhood memories, supermarket strolls, eating disorders, culinary movie scenes and more – while thoroughly highlighting the equal joy of cutting, stirring, tasting and unwrapping a ready-made cheeseburger. In addition, the various recipe ideas will reconnect even the most demotivated cook with their dusty old frying pan. Best to read on the kitchen floor next to a hot oven, surrounded by the sweet comforting smell of baking caramel swirl brownies.
