What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious memoir from comedian, Off Menu host and Great British Menu judge, Ed Gamble. Includes an exclusive bonus interview between Ed Gamble and fellow comedian and food-lover, Nish Kumar.

From a young age, Ed Gamble's immaculate bibs and extremely dirty nappies hinted at his capacious appetite. Before he could walk, Ed already knew that he preferred poached salmon to puree, that celery was a calorie-sapping waste of time, and that mashed potatoes should be made with lashings of butter.

Whilst he might ordinarily have been upset by the calls of 'precocious little sh*t' coming from his family, he was too busy stuffing his gob and staging rebellions against the patronising list of misery that is a children's menu.

In Glutton, Ed shares a relatable buffet of experiences and stories from a life lived through food. From the trials of being a diabetic with a sweet tooth to his teenage battles with obesity, to the joy of cooking and the power of food to bring us together, this is a wonderful, hilarious and heart-warming memoir of a delightful obsession.

Critics Review

Full of belly laughs and full bellies, this book is warm, honest and wonderfully entertaining.

Tom Kerridge

This book made me laugh and then order an unholy amount of takeaway.

Greg Davies

Funny as hell. Ed’s love of food is absolutely infectious.

Claudia Winkleman

One of my favourite comics has now written an annoyingly great book.

Romesh Ranganathan

A cracking read.

Chris Evans

Bloody brilliant.

Alan Carr

Ed Gamble just has funny written through his very core, like a stick of rock (he probably loves a stick of rock). This book is full of heart, empathy and it is of course crackling with his customary wit. It is all that you’d expect from this most excellent of humans!

Andi Oliver

One of the funniest comedians in the world, Ed is only serious about one thing – dinners

Nish Kumar

An absolute joy and delight.

Zoe Ball

Gamble has plenty of stories and tells them with an easy charm and warmth. Among his lively accounts of food-based capers that wouldn’t be out of place in the Beano [there are] many funny observations.
