Glutton
An intimate and wildly entertaining memoir of a life lived through food, from comedian, Off Menu podcast host, and food obsessive, Ed Gamble.
'Full of belly laughs and full bellies, this book is warm, honest and wonderfully entertaining.' β TOM KERRIDGE

'An absolute joy and delight.' β ZOE BALL
'This book is full of heart, empathy and it is of course crackling with Ed's customary wit.' β ANDI OLIVER
'One of the funniest comedians in the world, Ed is only serious about one thing - dinners.' β NISH KUMAR
The hilarious memoir from comedian, Off Menu host and Great British Menu judge, Ed Gamble.
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 purΓ©e, 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.
