Roddy Nicoll · A life in meals
Eat my
Family
A life told in meals — and the people who became them.
Did we have to eat the whole family?
A lifetime of feeding people, told one plate at a time.
The masterpiece that turned out to be eight tins of Campbell’s. The half-slice of hospital toast that beat every Michelin meal. A suckling pig that wouldn’t fit the oven, and a pasta sauce that tasted — unforgivably — of hot dogs.
Funny, warm and quietly true: stories about the thing food is really for — the table, and the people you keep setting it for.
