Toast

Looking for a last-minute gift to top off a food lover’s stocking? Today marks the DVD release of Toast, the story of food writer Nigel Slater's childhood and his explorations of food and cooking. Described as "a thoroughly irresistible confection" by Los Angeles Times critic Gary Goldstein, Toast features a compelling combination of heart, humor, and warmth. To learn more about the film, click here. Today we’re giving away one Toast DVD, one copy of the memoir on which the film is based, and a movie poster signed by Nigel Slater. For a chance to win the whole set, tell us your most memorable food experience from childhood. You can leave your answer in a comment below, in a tweet (use hashtag #jbfsweepstakes), or on our Facebook page. We will notify the five lucky winners next week.
