Jay Rayner: Nights Out in the Kitchen - Augustine Hall - Canterbury Christ Church University

Award-winning writer, musician, journalist and broadcaster Jay Rayner reflects on more than 25 years as a restaurant critic. To celebrate his new book, Nights Out in the Kitchen , Jay considers everything from the problem with dinner parties, through the lexicographical challenges facing a restaurant critic who wants to describe flavour without resorting to ‘mouth-watering’, ‘moist’ and ‘sumptuous’, to the burning question of whether, given the large number of wretchedly negative reviews he’s written, Jay might actually be a total scumbag. Feast on Jay’s love of restaurants and his infectious passion for great home cooking.
