About this listen

 Musings on food, society and life from one of the country's best loved foodies. Includes bonus material exclusive to the audiobook.

"Are you hungry darling, shall I make you an omelette?"

My mother's omelettes are slightly overdone but always generous in cheese and well-seasoned. My omelettes are just the same, though more often slightly underdone and less carefully considered. And like my stories, they come in many forms. You might get one late at night, after a little too much wine and alongside a little too much information. I might spend a long time on one that's just a touch extravagant. And many are for the people I care about most, thrown together and with more cheese than is strictly necessary.

Collected here are things I've done, things I've seen, things I've thought, and most importantly, things I've tasted. They're slices of parts of my life. Call them omelettes, if you like. I hope you enjoy them.

Critic reviews

Jessie's life seems to have seamlessly brought her forth on a magic carpet of food, peppered by lots and lots of laughs. Her stories are a joy to read, although probably not as much fun as they are to live. Deliciously entertaining. (Yotam Ottolenghi)
Joie de vivre is the bass note throughout the pages of Omelette
A delicious fusion of memoir and ode to food
A charming and funny memoir ... you want to eat everything she describes
A great one for foodies who live for nostalgia
A love letter to friends, first loves, faith and family, but most importantly - to food
A charming and funny memoir

This was great. Jesse presents wonderfully, you get real feeing from her. She is funny, the memories she shares ignite long forgotten moments from my own youth and the stories of food made me hungry.
Well worth a listen.

We all agreed that the podcast Table Manners has been fun and a great success, not sure who thought it was a good idea to commission this book?
