Editor ABC Books, Sydney 2013 (Hardback), Paperback edition 2018

What they said: 

“There are many anecdotes evoked in this nostalgic anthology of kitchen table memories…Nick Richardson has collected tales that remind us about the rituals of family life and love…Part of the proceeds from this highly enjoyable book are going to Foodbank, Australia's largest food relief agency. So read, eat, and share the joy.’’  

The Sydney Morning Herald  

“This is not just a book for foodies, as it reaches more widely and will reward and amuse anyone who has sat at a kitchen table. This is a good choice for book clubs as there are plenty of polemical voices that clamour for attention.
