Nick Frost

A Slice of Fried Gold; My Life in Food, is a blended cookery book, containing elements of memoir, humour and glorious, hearty recipes. Nick Frost may be best known for his work as a comedian, actor and one half (along with Simon Pegg) of the creative force behind cult classics like Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, but he is also a highly accomplished cook with an abiding passion for all things food. Before becoming famous, Nick spent years working in professional kitchens, but his love of cooking goes back much further, to his formative experiences in his mother’s kitchen. Nick talks movingly and with striking honesty about his childhood – the tragic loss of his mother and the fact that all the best memories he has of home are rooted in the kitchen. By turns wry and funny, sad and bittersweet, A Slice of Fried Gold is a moving and joyful celebration of the power of food.

Sold to Bonnier Books in a highly competitive auction, it published in September 2023.
