About this listen
Ed Balls was just three weeks old when he tried his first meal: pureed roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. While perhaps ill-advised by modern weaning standards, it worked for him in 1967, and from that moment on he was hooked on food.
Appetite is a memoir with a twist: part autobiography, part cookbook, each chapter is a recipe that tells a story. Ed was taught to cook by his mother, and now he’s passing these recipes on to his own children as they start to fly the nest. Sitting round the table year after year, the world around us may change, but great recipes last a lifetime.
Appetite is a celebration of love, family, and really good food.

Critic reviews
"Delightfully different." (Delia Smith)
Many of the scenes of family life will resonate, regardless of background.
My only gripe is that it really needs an accompanying pdf or content bookmarks so that we can find the recipes. No one wants to start scrolling through them on any of these types of book. Come on Audible, please up your game in this respect.
