A "Bake Off" vet wants you to "Eat Up!"

Maybe you wouldn't expect a former "Great British Baking Show" finalist to write a book that includes advice on how to eat a Cadbury creme egg. Or describes the pleasures of existing in the same era in history as Cheetos. But as Ruby Tandoh writes in "Eat Up! Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want," "All of the silly, forgettable, delicious little things that make up life and make life worth living…. This is the stuff that matters."

Tandoh has not abandoned her passion for homemade brownies and breads. But she has, over the nine years and several books since she first appeared as a self-deprecating university student in that famed tent, emerged as an articulate advocate for wider inclusion in the food world — both in the things we eat and the people we turn to for guidance.
