‘I want to eat everything in this book every single day for the rest of my life’ – James Acaster

‘Sweet and funny and weird…as well as genuinely insightful about cooking’ – Hadley Freeman, The Sunday Times

‘As touching as it is delicious’ – The Evening Standard

From Spaced and Hot Fuzz to Paul and Truth Seekers, 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.

This book is his love letter to food, to kitchens and the people in them.

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.

A Slice of Fried Gold is a delicious mixture of hearty recipes, stories and digressions from one of Britain’s most loved actors and writers.

    A joy to read, I didn’twant it to end. Thought provoking and funny with, of course, some superb recipes thrown in. Highly recommend!

    It’s a little odd having a cook book as an audiobook, but Nick’s personality and writing carries through the recipes and I’m there all the way. A great listen.

    The book was not in the best condition when it arrived. The colour on the corners were worn off. It’s a gift and so this is disappointing. There wasn’t an option of paperback so ordered a hard cover edition at a much higher price.

    I only got to the half way point before giving up. I found it just too tedious to continue. And the F word just strikes me as lazy sorry

    Remember he’s a comedian not a chef so with that in mind don’t expect anything groundbreaking.
    This would be a nice present for say a student who has never cooked before and needed teaching how to suck eggs.
    Also really strangely reads like an actual book not a cookbook, no photos etc.
