THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'An instant, hedonistic culinary classic' The London Standard
****
'It's the two best things in the world: food and sex'
Slutty Cheff is an anonymous London chef who knows what it's really like to work in the capital's hectic restaurant scene.
From working sixty-hour weeks in windowless kitchens and being the only woman in the changing room to the pure thrill of a busy service, falling in love with other chefs and cycling home through a city bubbling over with potential, Slutty Cheff's misadventures in food and sex are about experiencing and embracing life to the fullest. The pleasure and the chaos included . . .
An exquisite broth of raw Anthony Bourdain-style honesty with a pinch of the sharp wit of Lena Dunham's Girls, Tart Is THE book for those who like to eat and f**k.

Dolly Alderton
-
A startlingly gripping and funny glimpse into what goes on behind the kitchen doors, with sauce of all kinds oozing from every page. Deft and confident writing as sharp as a chef's knife that made me gasp, laugh and blush all at the same time. In another imagined life, I am a chef and this book made me yearn for that and simultaneously very glad that I'm not.

Slutty Cheff is an exhilarating new voice, as spiky and eye-opening as Fernet Branca. And her book is one great sweaty, sweary, sexy ride.

Tart is perfect. It's reminded me that, even though I've questioned my choice of working in kitchens after many tough shifts, I'll never leave the industry because it's where I feel at home.
