Already a British bestseller, this delicious memoir evokes 1960s suburban England. A truly extraordinary story of a childhood remembered through food, Toast takes readers on a tour of young Slater's family's pantry -- transporting them back to another age via rice pudding, tinned ham, cream soda, mince pies, and lemon drops.

Good to Know
| ”What I hate most is being called a ‘celebrity chef,' " Slater reveals in our exclusive interview. "I am not the sort of cook who dances around in front of the camera with a skillet in my hand. I just make myself something to eat at home, and if I think its good then write about it because I think others might enjoy it too. End of story.”
