Touching! A Real Tear Jerker! Newberry Award Winner!

Crackingly British biography of our favourite "tongue-pushing" chef from his glorious (and almost regal) East-end fame. This is a brutally frank, almost cockney tale of how young Oliver rose to culinary stardom with his fantastic recipes and has worthless insight of his beyond horrible music group, "Mother Russia." Each page is filled with a "rogering" of recipies, each with a "Big Ben/Parliament" type of enigmatic splendour. As a Brit, I know all too well of how chefs are often the [fool] of the culinary joke, but with Oliver and the often buxom Nigella Lawson, we're put England back on the map of dining delights. As such, we Birchshire-ians will one day take over the deep-fried, carnival world of food and triumph beyond the gates of heaven. Bloody Outrage!
