With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Brilliant light read, very funny and very moving in places. Lots of little stories about his life through food very refreshing and enjoyable to read from the first page. As a boy he never saw butter without crumbs in it and his mum burnt the toast every morning. As a boy he was fascinated by tastes and was determined to one day taste good food. Nigel Slater writes a column for the guardian and his passion for food shines through in this book you are there with him tasting the Baked Alaska and smelling the toast from the Aga.
This book is not just about food it's a very moving and hard to put down read of an endearing little boy growing up.
