An Audience with an Elephant should appeal to any travel writing fan who has enjoyed Tony Hawks' quest to play tennis with the Moldovans & Pete Mc Carthy's bar
- but here is no manufactured, factitious wackiness: rather a quest for genuine, magnificent eccentricity
- & all without ever leaving Britain. Rogers' travels take him to Great Yarmouth, to find the only giant tortoise that is also a living veteran of Gallipoli; to Stalybridge (to travel on the ghost railway train that runs in one direction only); & even to Buckingham Palace, on an out-of-the-blue commission to write speeches for the Prince of Wales. This is a book about the sheer idiosyncratic oddity of Britain: 80-year-old triathletes; compulsive exam-takers; the last tramp in Wales; & other unusual encounters.

Join Audrey Gordon, voted three times Britain's sternest chef, as she travels to the heart of Italy & shares the recipes, produce & memories of her Tuscan summer. Visit traditional farmhouses, local trattorias & sample the stunning range of local produce on offer as Audrey shares the sights, sounds & occasionally, smells, of regional Italy. Then sample these delights at home with the range of delicious & easy to make recipes that Audrey, inspired by Italian traditions, has created for the home cook. This book is not directed at celebrity super chefs or haute cuisine high flyers dazzling diners in their Michelin starred restaurants. It's written for you, the ordinary cook, stuck at home with insufficient bench space & a set of chipped mixing bowls. My fervent hope is that it will inspire you, give you the confidence to believe that you can be a wonderful cook or, at very least, an adequate one. This book is meant as a guide, not a set of strict instructions you may only deviate from at your peril! There's no need to slavishly follow my every measurement & step. Does a violinist playing Beethoven not occasionally add a few notes? Or an aircraft pilot about to take off sometimes skip a pre-flight safety check or two? Of course! & so should you. I'm a no nonsense chef. If a recipe calls for squash & I think thinly sliced zucchini will work just as well (not to mention add a peppery crunch) then I'll just do it. That's what cooking should be about. Going with one's impulses & to hell with the consequences! That said, I've had years of practice & I simply can't be held responsible for any inevitable disappointment that might arise from your attempts at improvisation. If you are a novice in the kitchen I'd strongly urge you to follow my recipes closely. &, no matter how experienced you might be, please pay careful attention to each instruction. You'd be amazed at the number of people who read gently simmer' & then proceed to simmer gently', or who think that there's no real difference between chopping tomatoes roughly & chopping them coarsely. At the end of each chapter I've left a page or two for notes. If you think you've got something to add that hasn't already been covered perfectly well then feel free to defile the book. But I suggest you think twice before doing so. Finally, this book is not meant to be a monologue. I want you to imagine I'm there in the kitchen with you, helping, guiding, prodding &
- only occasionally
- wrapping your knuckles with the handle of an egg whisk. XXX Audrey
