Summary
'I want to eat everything in this book every single day for the rest of my life' - James Acaster
'Sweet and funny and weird...as well as genuinely insightful about cooking' - Hadley Freeman, The Sunday Times
'As touching as it is delicious' - The Evening Standard
From Spaced and Hot Fuzz 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: so keen, in fact, that in lockdown, he personally delivered pies to his Instagram followers.
This book is his love letter to food, to kitchens and the people in them.
Nick's favourite thing to eat aged 10 was his mother's stroganoff and as her alcoholism worsened, he began to learn to cook it himself, gradually taking over and using it as a magic trick to conjure up the very best bits of her - the stable, sober bits, which became harder to find as the years went on. This was the beginning of a lifelong love of process and technique, of escaping into a world of hisses, blips and thunks of a knife on a board.
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.

Brilliantly surreal and lunatic
Started a little slow, initially I thought it was just going to be a memoir with food. It rapidly ascended into lunacy and surrealism - I have to get myself a few grammes of Cluck. I am even going to try some of his recipes. I rarely write reviews, but had to for this book. Brilliant

Don't read/listen when hungry!
Beautifully read by Nick and his descriptions of his recipes are so brilliant you don't realise it's a cookbook... made me very hungry too!

What the hell did I just listen to?
a lovely, uncategoriseable stew of a book. informative, funny, and weird. I loved this, and I know it's one that will get another listen.

Very good for a cook book
Not for everyone, I didn't realise it was a cook book but Frosts quick wit and humour made this a very enjoyable listen! I may even start cooking
