"With her inimitable wit and outspoken views, acclaimed cooking guru Clarissa Dickson Wright provides an unrivalled collection of stories and anecdotes from her ever-eventful life in this touching memoir. As a celebrated cook and a champion of the countryside, Clarissa's year includes meeting with local farmers and supermarket managers, attending an oyster festival and county fairs, and encountering an adorable fishing terrier named Kipper.
