Cooking with Fernet Branca by James Hamilton-Paterson

4.0

I have never really been one for cookery/travel books but this was wonderful, had me in stitches at times and I really enjoyed Hamilton-Paterson's style of writing. Samper was one of those characters you could easily grow to hate but there was something strangely likeable about him and I am not sure really what it was. In many ways he reminds me a great deal of Radio 4's Ed Reardon, a rather bitter and relatively witty ghost writer who isn't keen on the people he has to write for/about and wants nothing more than to be published on his own merit.
