Ed Balls | Appetite

Spring Festival 2022

Ed Balls, former Shadow Chancellor, Strictly Come Dancing and Twitter legend, serves up his memoir, Appetite. This scrumptious and heart-warming book blends memories with recipes; part autobiography, part cookbook. Sitting round the table year after year, the world around us may change, but great recipes last a lifetime. A celebration of love, family, and good food with one of the UK’s top political pundits.
