Publisher's Summary
Think about that first tickle of hunger in your stomach. A moment ago, you could have been thinking about anything, but now it's thickly buttered marmite toast, a frosty scoop of ice cream straight from the tub, some creamy, cheesy scrambled eggs or a fuzzy, perfectly ripe peach.
Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures. Food nourishes our bodies, helps us celebrate our successes (from a wedding cake to a post-night-out kebab), cheers us up when we're down, introduces us to new cultures and - when we cook and eat together - connects us with the people we love.
In Eat Up, Ruby Tandoh celebrates the fun and pleasure of food, taking a look at everything from gluttons and gourmets in the movies to the symbolism of food and sex. She will arm you against the fad diets, food crazes and bad science that can make eating guilt-laden and expensive, drawing eating inspiration from influences as diverse as Roald Dahl, Nora Ephron and Gemma from TOWIE. Filled with straight-talking, sympathetic advice on everything from mental health to recipe ideas and shopping tips, this is an audiobook that clears away the fog, to help you fall back in love with food.

Great story - I struggled with the narrator
I really liked Tandoh's writing style and her over-the-top descriptions suit her subject. I really struggled with her narration though. She speaks in a flat monotone about what should be an uplifting subject. I found her narration style negative, as if she were speaking about something very difficult and painful, when what she is describing is actually a celebration of food. I would not have gotten past this if it wasn't for the quality content of the writing. I got used to it more as I got into the book but it continued to bother me right to end.
