Table Talk by Adrian Gill
The first collection of food writing by Britain's funniest and most feared critic
'What sets Gill apart from the upper middle-class politically incorrect pontificators is that he's interested in people (even if he doesn't always like them) and writes in a clear, economical, puissant style' * THE LIST *
'His reporting, within the space of a few sentences, can be honest, romantic, awestruck, damning, hilarious but, importantly, never sentimental or patronising' * TIME OUT *
'Gill is a delightful, funny polemicistHis prose floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee and, just when you least expect it, lands a deft and lethal blow beneath the belt' * SUNDAY TIMES *
'He entertains like a vicious game show' * GLASGOW HERALD *
'It annoys, arouses feelings and forces one to confront received opinions. Whether one sides with it or not, one can admire the zest of the writing and applaud its splendid lack of political correctness' -- Beryl Bainbridge * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
