Enjoy a tasty evening with Jay Rayner in Nottingham

Top restaurant critic Jay Rayner will be sharing tales and tricks from the trade when he heads to Nottingham next month.

The writer and broadcaster, who was The Observer’s award-winning restaurant critic for 25 years and has been a judge for MasterChef, will discuss his new book, Nights Out At Home, a ‘memoir-in-recipes’. Throughout his quarter of a century eating professionally in some of the world’s best – and worst – restaurants, Jay has always ‘reverse-engineered’ his favourite dishes; now he’s ready to share those recipes and his memories of the restaurants that served them.
