Snail Eggs and Samphire (HB)

Derek Cooper's career in journalism has focused on one subject: the food we eat. For more than 30 years he has been associated with the best of British food and he has been a scathing critic of some of the worst this country has to offer, too. Recently honoured by both the Guild of Food Writers and the Glenfiddich Awards with awards for Lifetime Achievement, he is one of the best-known and best-loved broadcasters. His is the voice of Radio 4's "Food Programme". This book is a collection of the very best of his food journalism, published over a 30-year career. In it we find anecdotes about food and drink, the people who produce it and the places it comes from.
