Paperback. Condición: Very Good. To coincide with the release of a major film adaptation, a new edition of Nigel Slaters much-loved and acclaimed memoir. TOAST is Nigel Slaters truly extraordinary story of a childhood remembered through food. Whether relating his mothers ritual burning of the toast, his fathers dreaded Boxing Day stew or such culinary highlights of the day as Arctic Roll and Grilled Grapefruit (then considered something 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 Nigels 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 fathers 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. Nigels 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.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Florentines is an anthology inspired by the rediscovery of Giovanna Garzoni, a miniaturist painter at the court of the Medici in the 17th century. Traditional Tuscan recipes and contemporary extracts describing the region and its luscious produce are illustrated with her watercolours of pumpkins, hams, branches, pans, pots, fish, vegetables and fruit. Giovanna Garzoni ended her days in a Capucine convent in Rome, to which she left her papers and a sample sketchbook, and only in the early 60s was evaluation of her work begun. Many of her surviving paintings were commissioned by Medici patrons, chiefly Prince Leopoldo and Cardinal Giovan Carlo. Fittingly therefore, Lorenza de Medici, an authority on Italian cooking and direct descendent of the renowned Medici contributes a foreword as well as timeless regional recipes, some dating back two centuries. Garzoni painted predominantly portraits and still lifes of flowers and fruits. Her works have a fresh presence and almost surreal quality that explain her immense popularity in her own day and make her long, subsequent neglect all the more mysterious.
