The Sunday Times Bestseller, and the biggest memoir of the year, from Britain's best loved food writer. TOAST is Nigel Slater's truly extraordinary story of a childhood remembered through food. Whether relating his mother's ritual burning of the toast, his father's dreaded Boxing Day stew or such culinary highlights of the day as Arctic Roll and Grilled Grapefruit (then considered somehting of a status symbol in Wolverhampton) this remarkable memoir vividly recreates daily life in sixties surburban England. His mother was a chops-and-peas sort of cook, exasperated by the highs and lows of a temperamental AGA, a finicky little son and the asthma that was to prove fatal. His father was a honey-and-crumpets man who could occasionally go off 'crack' like a gun. When Nigel's widowed father takes on a housekeeper with social aspirations and a talent in the kitchen, the following years become a heartbreaking cooking contest for his father's affections. But as he slowly loses the battle, Nigel finds a new outlet for his culinary talents, and we witness the birth of what was to become a lifelong passion for food. Nigel's likes and dislikes, aversions and sweet-toothed weaknesses form a fascinating and amusing backdrop to this incredibly moving and deliciously evocative memoir of childhood, adolescence and sexual awakening.

It's a pleasure to read a good chef talking about disgusting food and a gay guy talking about miserable childhood

评分不管自傳是不是都有美化的作用，這本書還是很有意思的，有美食，也有傢庭問題的傷愁和少年特有的隻屬於那一個時期的縴細，我一直不明白隻是一個十代小孩的吃喝日記的話為什麼要動用我傢天纔肌的Freddie Highmore來演，看這本書就明白瞭。這不是一本少年時代的美食記錄而已，裏麵更多的部分是有關於傢庭的敏感和惆悵的，一個愛吃的小男孩憂鬱而易感，還有點復雜的心理很細膩的被描寫，或者說迴憶瞭齣來。所以纔選瞭Freddie Highmore啊~妥，很妥：P
