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. Chaired by food historian and Head of the Eccles Centre at the British Library Polly Russell. A limited number of £10 Under-30s tickets are available for this performance. Click here to find out more . Books will be sold at the talks and online by The Bookshop at Canterbury Christ Church University. For more information click here .
