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.
