Nigel Slater's Toast
by Henry Filloux-Bennett
28th - 30th March 2023
at Newhampton Arts Centre
Based on the British Book Awards Biography of the Year, Toast is the story of Wolverhampton born Nigel Slater’s childhood, told through the tastes and smells he grew up with. From making the perfect sherry trifle to waging a war over cakes and from the pressured playground politics of sweets to the rigid rules of restaurant dining, this is a story of love, loss and... toast.
