Overview

Who's on the Menu presents the famous and infamous behind hundreds of dishes. As Laurie Colwin once said: People who like to cook like to talk about food...without one cook giving another cook a tip or two, human life might have died out a long time ago. Who's on the Menu presents those pioneers, thanks to whom we have been able to sustain our passion for sustenance. God may claim the ingredients but it was people who first mixed them together!

Robert Booth has created a book which can only be described as culinary pornography. It makes me want to rush out to Soho and eat something. Barry Humphries

Author Information

After Bedales, Cambridge and LAMDA, and a year finding out that he was neither a good nor a successful actor, Robert Booth spent 11 years teaching English as a foreign language in London, France and Italy. He then went into broadcasting, first with BBC Radio 4 and then at Classic FM. In the spring of 1996 he and his family moved to south-west France, where they lived for 7 years. He writes a regular food column for Sussex Living magazine. Apart from Who's on the Menu, Robert has also written Eating the Alphabet, Who's on the Bottle and Words of Food as part of his series of gastronomic gift books, also published by Bene Factum. Previously he wrote Always and Only Venice, a grand compilation of odds and ends, myths, legends, curiosities, facts, and strange and wonderful things about that most magical place. He now lives in Petworth, Sussex.
