Can confirm it is an excellent read - as a volunteer at Chartwell it is quite interesting how many visitors want to know the 'Great Man's' eating habits and favourite food, I now have the ammunition to provide the answers. The book is full of fascinating insights into the diplomacy of the dining table. It is also well written and almost 'un-put downable' - thoroughly recommend.
