In this bestselling tour de force of a culinary manifesto, Great British Bake Off alum and former Guardian columnist Ruby Tandoh will help you fall back in love with food—from a great selection of recipes to straight-talking, sympathetic advice on mental health and body image
 
“I read it greedily.” —Nigella Lawson
Ruby Tandoh implores us to enjoy and appreciate food in all of its many forms. Food is, after all, what nourishes our bodies, helps us commemorate important milestones, cheers us up when we're down, expands our minds, and connects us with the people we love. But too often, it’s a source of anxiety and unhappiness. With Eat Up!, Tandoh celebrates one of life’s greatest pleasures, drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as Julia Child to The Very Hungry Caterpillar, flavor memories to jellied eels. She takes on the wellness industry and fad diets, and rejects the snobbery surrounding “good” and “bad” food, in wide-ranging essays that will reshape the way you think about eating.
This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains recipes and resources from the book.

      Ruby Tandoh is an established British foodie from the hit reality TV show "The Great British Bake Off" who now writes about food for a variety of international outlets, including the NEW YORK TIMES. Here she narrates her memoir about the art and act of eating. Tandoh is reverential about rituals related to food. We hear her thoughts delivered in tender, almost dulcet, tones. She pushes beyond what we eat into why, where, and even with whom we do so. This is an ode to Tandoh's personal relationship with food, framed by memories of cooking with her grandmother and by her plea to slow down and enjoy the lost art of eating. Fans of her other work will feel they are getting to know her even better here. M.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine

      Tandoh (Flavour; Cook as You Are), a 2013 Great British Bake Off finalist and author of three cookbooks, offers an uplifting, eye-opening, and liberating meditation on eating, dieting, and food culture. Eating is so much more than satisfying a physical need. It encompasses emotional eating, mental health, family traditions, and, as Tandoh passionately argues, is affected by class, race, and gender. Tandoh adorns her reflections with delectable recipes--gorgeously buttery tomato sauce, sweet potato and butternut squash stew, and tomato soup to make at the end of a long day. With gentle, clear tones, her narration envelops listeners in the warmth of her understanding and compassion. There is a place for everyone here, from those seeking food as medicine, to transgender people trying to conform to unforgiving societal expectations, to individuals contending with disordered eating. Tandoh encourages listeners to dig into their food and eat with gusto, no matter what others may think--"Who cares? Eat their leftovers. If they carry on judging you, eat them too." VERDICT This empathetic and timely listen will inspire and inform. A celebration of food and humanity that will be welcomed by anyone wishing to embrace the notion that eating can be both pleasure and self-care.--Sarah Hashimoto
