Always good to see this book... one of the classic books to grow from a website...
One of the books at the rather nice house I'm staying in for the next few days...
It has some great quotes too, including the one from HJ Heinz (of beans fame) in the previous post....
Lots of geography of course in the book with the power of 'place' coming through in the individuality of the cafes that are visited. I've visited quite a few of the cafes in the book, and have particularly good memories of Pete's Eats and of course the Grindleford Station Cafe with its ubiquitous signage...
Also good sections on the great variety of each of the ingredients, and the 're-invention' of toast as part of the "electric breakfast"...
A recommended read...
