    About this ebook

    When a restaurateur with anger management and cash flow issues receives an innocent proposal from his loyal sous chef, five star reviews and a packed house soon follow. But the success does not come without complications and with each solution, a new and more vexing problem arises. Just as reality cooking show stardom seems within reach, the operation comes crashing down when two of the restaurant’s independent contractors are detained by police.

    “An unbelievable satirical romp told with razor-sharp wit, Another Modest Proposal is a comic gem.”
    -Steve Martin

      The Inedibles

      May 14, 2020

      GIVEN I’ve eaten some unusual food – flying termites fried in palm oil, raw rotted Greenland shark – I might be disqualified from criticising China’s more exotic cuisine. We might not consider fruit bats a delicacy but they’re often eaten in Asia and

      Chris Erskine: When Wanderlust Strikes

      Jul 24, 2018

      We quit being invited to cocktail parties recently after I mistook a conch shell for a napkin and ran it across my face like some sort of tribesman. The dudes kind of dug it, but it so unsettled their dates that I was asked to leave. Honestly, the ho

      Bon Appétit! Restaurants Are Back But Conversation Remains A Struggle

      May 26, 2021

      "Table 16. I think I remember where that is," says the waiter as he checks our reservation and shows us inside. Table 16 is a lonely spot behind a pillar and next to the loo. We couldn’t be happier. I turn to my brother-in-law. "Pleased to be back?"

      Howl Palace

      Sep 15, 2019

      Last week, I finally had to put Howl Palace up for sale. Years of poor financial planning had led to this decision, and I tried to take some comfort in my agent’s belief in a buyer who might show up with an all-cash offer. My agent is a highly organi

      My heart leapt with joy – swiftly followed by my happy stomach. I was in a café not far from home, gloomily perusing the cabinet food, prepared for the usual options. There never seems to be a bacon and egg pie or, if there is, it’s called something

      What do Robespierre, the late Duke of Westminster and I have in common? Probably not much, other than that none of us ever liked fancy food. Robespierre sent hundreds of French aristocrats to the guillotine while reportedly living on a bowl of gruel

      I had the fright of my life at about 9.30pm one evening last week, as a figure flashed past the sitting-room window. Given how remote my house is, uninvited guests at that time are not to be expected. Thankfully, however, it was just the gamekeeper,
