Yuandi Li reviews ‘angry chef’ Anthony Warner’s second book

It’s been a while since I’ve looked forward to a sequel as much as I have to Anthony Warner’s follow up to his first book The Angry Chef. It made me laugh (no, guffaw), it made me angry and it was terrific fun. I looked forward to more of the same. However, within the first couple pages of The Truth About Fat, it became clear that the book wasn’t at all what I was expecting.

Whereas The Angry Chef is akin to a collection of essays covering several different subjects, The Truth About Fat is an entire thesis looking at a single issue.
