Please send in your RSVP.
There will be books for sale on the day for $38.00.
ABOUT THE BOOK
‘Do we really have to have Persian dried rose petals, Pete? I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how essential are they in the dish you’re cooking?’ asks brother Paul with his patient face on. I go blank. How important are rose petals? Is this a trick question? What kind of bullshit supermarket is this anyway? There are 37 million products here. How hard would it have been to throw a few packets of rose petals on the shelf?
In this, her 19th book, Peta Mathias 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. If Peta can survive her life while wearing designer clothes and red lipstick, so can you. You don’t have to be a recovered Catholic to tell the truth.
