|title=Ripley's Believe It or Not!
|author=Robert Leroy Ripley
|rating=5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=I don't normally do annuals. I'm afraid too many of the silly cartoon variety put me off the genre, but this is something completely different. It seems a shame to even call it an annual. Instead I would call this an interactive encyclopaedia of the bizarre, unusual, twisted and absolutely delightful facts that challenge you to 'Believe it or not!'

|summary=In my kitchen there's a battered (in both senses of the word) copy of ''Real Fast Food'', Nigel Slater's first book. Twenty one years later he's revisited the idea and given us ''Eat: The Little Book of Fast Food''. Now it's 'small' as any book containing over six hundred ideas for dinners (complete with lots of excellent photographs by Jonathan Lovekin) can be small - and the food is fast in the sense that you're talking about a maximum of an hour, although occasionally the cooking takes longer. I'm glad that we're moving away from the idea of getting food on the table as quickly as possible - it's not a race - as cooking can be a real pleasure and eating it an even bigger one.
