A Slice of Fried Gold

<p><b>'I want to eat everything in this book every single day for the rest of my life' - James Acaster</b><br><br><b>'Sweet and funny and weird...as well as genuinely insightful about cooking' - Hadley Freeman, <i>The Sunday Times</i></b><br><br><b>'As touching as it is delicious' - <i>The Evening Standard</i><br></b><br>From <i>Spaced </i>and <i>Hot Fuzz</i> to <i>Paul </i>and <i>Truth Seekers</i>, Nick Frost has lit up our screens for decades with his perfectly observed, just-the-right-side-of-absurd sketches and films. He's also a keen, self-taught cook: so keen, in fact, that in lockdown, he personally delivered pies to his Instagram followers.<br><br>This book is his love letter to food, to kitchens and the people in them.<br><br>Nick's favourite thing to eat aged 10 was his mother's stroganoff and as her alcoholism worsened, he began to learn to cook it himself, gradually taking over and using it as a magic trick to conjure up the very best bits of her - the stable, sober bits, which became harder to find as the years went on. This was the beginning of a lifelong love of process and technique, of escaping into a world of hisses, blips and thunks of a knife on a board.<br><br><i>A Slice of Fried Gold</i> is a delicious mixture of hearty recipes, stories and digressions from one of Britain's most loved actors and writers.</p>
