Jay Rayner in conversation at the Farsley Literature Festival, Leeds at Kitchen Table bookshop

Join Jay at the Kitchen Table bookshop, Shaftesbury on October 31st when they’ll be asking Jay Rayner the hard questions - from the problem with dinner parties and the route to a less painful Christmas lunch, 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.
