Books Aloud - Peta Mathias - It's been six weeks since my last confession
Peta Mathias joins us to talk about her new book 'It's been six weeks since my last confession". In this, her 19th book, Peta regales her readers with indiscreet stories from her life - how to deal with anger and temps perdu, why it's not a sin to wear black underwear, how eating sun-drenched food will keep you young and beautiful forever, how to open your eyes with a knife and what happens when you go on holiday with five A-types. "It's been six weeks since my last confession" is just glorious. It makes you think about what is good in life, love and food. This is a laugh out loud book that will have you rolling about one minute and running to the kitchen the next - full of inspiration to make something fabulously simple and delicious. Peta's hilarious wit and charm is present in every page.
