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.

评分温情 成长蜕变 自我认知
评分不管自传是不是都有美化的作用，这本书还是很有意思的，有美食，也有家庭问题的伤愁和少年特有的只属于那一个时期的纤细，我一直不明白只是一个十代小孩的吃喝日记的话为什么要动用我家天才肌的Freddie Highmore来演，看这本书就明白了。这不是一本少年时代的美食记录而已，里面更多的部分是有关于家庭的敏感和惆怅的，一个爱吃的小男孩忧郁而易感，还有点复杂的心理很细腻的被描写，或者说回忆了出来。所以才选了Freddie Highmore啊~妥，很妥：P
评分love Nigel
