What to expect

This audiobook is a celebration of snacks in all their glorious forms, guaranteed to fill your day with snacking joy.

It will take you from your morning coffee (cinnamon crumble cakes and cherry-marzipan hand pies) to your evening wine (oeufs durs mayonnaise and mushroom pate) via salsas, hot dips, crispy bits, crab nachos and frozen piña coladas in the sun. The Joy of Snacks will lift your spirits while satisfying your deepest snacking desires, helping you squeeze the joy out of life's big and small moments, whether it's party time or Monday morning.

Critics Review

Deft storytelling, deep research and real wisdom about how we actually eat
Guardian Books of the Year 2022
Delightful
Waitrose Food
Another brilliant book from food writer Laura Goodman . . . Funny, joyful and packed with deliciousness
Cambridge Edition
As moreish as the snacks it celebrates, The Joy of Snacks is a smart, funny and moving meditation on the little things that make life great. I loved it.
Ruby Tandoh
Laura Goodman is a simply perfect food writer and everything she does is a dream
Ella Risbridger
There are few food writers as witty and informed as Laura, and I (unsurprisingly to me) devoured this book. She also happens to have great taste, so I will be making most of these dips immediately.
Georgina Hayden
It's so refreshing to read a cookbook that makes me laugh! Laura does the near impossible; her food and her good humour are as delicious in real life as on the page
Alice Levine
An utterly joyful read. I cannot think of a nicer afternoon than to settle down with this book and a variety of snacks alongside.
Rukmini Iyer
Naked, unashamed and witty, Laura Goodman delights, tempts and insults our intestines with raucous, dangerous and surprising suggestions
Miriam Margolyes
