Stirred but not Shaken: The Autobiography - Keith
Floyd
Hardback book
Sidgwick & Jackson 2009
He was the first celebrity chef, the swashbuckling cook who crossed the high
seas, on a BBC budget, communicating his love of food to millions of viewers. Make a wonderful dish and have a bloody good
time: that was the criteria of Keith Floyd's mission (a mission that lasted
several decades). Along the way he
inspired a generation of men to get into the kitchen. After starting out in a hotel kitchen in
Bristol, he made and lost fortunes, was married four times, and dealt with a
level of fame that bemused him. Now, in
his honest and revealing memoir, completed just before he died, Keith reflects
on the ups and downs of his career. Above
all, the much loved, often copied, Keith Floyd whooshes the reader through his
adventures, from the hilarious to the downright lunatic. As irrepressible, funny and charming as Keith
himself, Stirred But Not Shaken is a must-read for anyone who loves life, food,
women… and a quick slurp.
