Why read it?
1 author picked Hungry as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a memoir that took me straight back to those beige culinary days of my Geordie upbringing, when the best thing about Autumn was rice pudding and the comfort food of the eighties. Grace writes with charm and wit, interspersing her career highs and lows with some wonderfully warm moments of nostalgia. Very moving and will make you reach for a can of Heinz tomato soup.
From Dawn's list on escapism on a rainy Autumn evening.
