Özet

Victory in the Kitchen is a culinary biography: a life lived through food, ranging from rural Berkshire to wartime London, via Belle Epoque Paris and prohibition-era New York.

While Georgina Landemare saw herself as ordinary, her accomplishments and the life she lived were anything but.

She started her career as a nursemaid and ended it cooking for one of the best-known figures in British history, Winston Churchill, a man to whom food was central as a diplomatic tool in a time when the world was embroiled in a worldwide war.

Annie Gray contextualises 20th-century food through two figures who were both intimately involved with it. Recipes include Georgina's German Kougelhof, Boodle's Orange, Mousse de Maple and 'Chocolat Cake Good'.

I like Annie Gray, I like the content of this book.

What I don’t like is the narration by the author. It’s just too fast. I always listen to books on audible at 100% speed and often at 125% with not trouble. This is the first book where I’ve had to decrease the speed to 90% just to keep up.

There’s also a few blips one around 1:50 (from memory) where the author stuffs up the narration. Not sure why these weren’t edited out.

Overall I can honestly say it’s the first audiobook I’ve had from audible where I think I would have preferred the print version.

Interesting book, not sure about the author’s narration

I can’t recommend this highly enough. All of Annie Gray’s work is fantastic and to have the book read by the author is an added bonus. You can’t help but fall in love with Georgina Landemare. What an inspiration and national treasure she is.

An amazing step back in time

I enjoyed the author’s other book about the high street much more and the narration was considerably better. The author’s narration of this was poor; she seems to be racing through as fast as possible; out of breath from the speed and big gasping gulps of air. It’s so distracting that I couldn’t even tell you about the book. Have quit after two chapters. Disappointing.

Terrible narration
