WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON DEBUT FOOD BOOK AWARD 2021

WINNER OF 2021 LAKELAND BOOK OF THE YEAR

‘Extraordinary. Vivid, irreverent, heartbreaking.’ NIGEL SLATER

‘So funny and so delicious. I could eat it.’ DAWN O’PORTER

‘Delicious.’ THE OBSERVER

From an early age, Grace Dent was hungry. As a little girl growing up in Currock, Carlisle, she yearned to be something bigger, to go somewhere better.

Hungry traces her story from growing up eating beige food to becoming one of Britain’s best-loved food writers. It’s also everyone’s story – from cheese and pineapple hedgehogs and treats with your nan, to the exquisite joy of a chip butty covered in vinegar and too much salt in the school canteen on a grey day. And the Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut from a hospital vending machine that tells a loved one you really care.

Grace’s snapshot of how we have lived, laughed and eaten over the past 40 years reveals the central role food plays in either bringing us together or driving us apart – from toasting a large glass of warm Merlot to grimly polishing off a wilted salad.

Heartfelt, witty and joyous, Hungry shows us what we’ve always known to be true. Food, friends and family are the indispensable ingredients of a life well lived.

‘I stayed awake LATE to finish and honest-to-god it’s WONDERFUL! Deliciously honest about ambition, family secrets, loneliness, success, it’s all here! It’s a HUGELY engaging and satisfying read.’ MARIAN KEYES

‘Full of audacious, vodka-dry humour, Hungry is also tender and touching, she writes about her father’s dementia with heartbreaking honesty.’ RED
‘Funny and poignant account of life with her father and how it shaped her relationship with food…Dent is a fine comic writer, but she is also superb on grief and the small moments of connection that offer a way through.' THE OBSERVER
‘Tender and witty, the book is both a love letter to George, whose eventual decline from dementia she recounts, and the food that brought them together.’ THE GUARDIAN

Really enjoyed this book, brilliantly read by Grace.
Whilst some of the content is definitely not in the name of entertainment, I did smile to myself in the street, on the bus, on the train...insanely grinning...for 90% of this book.
If you were born in the 70s and if you are 'a northerner' & 'working class' this book will strike all sorts of chords.
Read. Enjoy. I'm sad it has ended.

Loved It

Beautiful book narrated by the author giving an insight to the life of one of the Country's favourite restaurant critics. The path of her father's gradual decline to dementia was particularly powerful.

Heartfelt story of family and food

This is a beautiful story that touches your heart. Grace narrates it beautifully and it is a joy to listen to. I didn't know who Grace Dent was as I don't read the papers but I'm so glad I listened to her story

Wonderful in every way
