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 and this book is his passionate love letter to
food, kitchens and the people in them. Whether it's learning to cook his
mother's beef stroganoff, making 'Pies in a Bowl' for Simon Pegg, preparing a
Greek salad for an entire film crew or serving up porridge for his kids, this
is Nick's celebration of family and friendship, process and technique, and the
solace that cooking brings. It's the pleasure of escaping into a world of
hisses, blips and the thunks of a knife on a board and sharing lasting
memories with those you love over a comforting plate of food. 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. Read more
