The first collection of food writing by Britain's funniest and most
feared critic A.A. Gill knows food, and loves food. A meal is never
just a meal. It has a past, a history, connotations. It is a
metaphor for life. A.A. Gill delights in decoding what lies behind
the food on our plates: famously, his reviews are as much
ruminations on society at large as they are about the restaurants
themselves. So alongside the concepts, customers and cuisines, ten
years of writing about restaurants has yielded insights on
everything from yaks to cowboys, picnics to politics. TABLE TALK is
an idiosyncratic selection of A.A. Gill's writing about food, taken
from his Sunday Times and Tatler columns. Sometimes inspired by the
traditions of a whole country, sometimes by a single ingredient, it
is a celebration of what great eating can be, an excoriation of
those who get it wrong, and an education about our own appetites.
Because it spans a decade, the book focuses on A.A. Gill's general
dining experiences rather than individual restaurants - food fads,
tipping, chefs, ingredients, eating in town and country and abroad,
and the best and worst dining experiences. Fizzing with wit, it is
a treat for gourmands, gourmets and anyone who relishes good
writing.
