Hello listeners of the off menu podcast. It is Ed Gamble here from the off menu podcast.

I have a very exciting announcement. I have written my first ever book. I am absolutely

over the moon to announce this. I'm very, very proud of it. Of course, what else could

I write a book about? But food. My book is all about food. My life in food. How greedy

I am. What a greedy little boy I was. What a greedy adult I am. I think it's very funny.

I'm very proud of it. The book is called Glutton, the multicore's life of a very greedy boy.

And it's coming out this October, but it is available to preorder now wherever you

preorder books from. And if you like my signature, I've done some signed copies which are exclusively

available from Waterstones. But go and preorder your copy of Glutton, the multicore's life

of the very greedy boy now. Please.

Thanks to Birer Mareti, let's tell Leana or Tendica. I heard James that in Italy you take the

time to stop and make the most of the moments that matter because life takes better when

it's enjoyed with a few simple ingredients. Great food. Great beer. Great beer. Great

company. Great company. Yeah, you preempted me there. Also James, what happens if you're

in Italy and you don't necessarily want to drink alcohol? How do you get that lovely taste?

Or Bonziorno, Ed. Here's how we get that lovely taste with great taste in alcohol-free Birer
