Synopsis
When you're a teenager in seventies Stoke living on Smash and Cup-a-Soup, there's only one thing you long to acquire: Taste.
At least you do if you're Stephen Beckett, and you're convinced you were born into the wrong class.
So when middle age nears and you're running your own trendy Brighton eatery, you're entitled to think you've made it.
But you're about to find out just how expensive taste can be.
It can cost you:
Your wife and children
Your friends and family
Your sex drive, your business and probably your sanity
Caught in the headlights of a terrifying new life and an unhealthy fixation with a lapdancer who hates him, Stephen must face the question: is class really about what's on your plate? And if not, what are its true ingredients?
To discover where he belongs - and who with - Stephen Beckett is going to have to swallow a lot of things far less palatable than a plate of borsch.
And that's just for starters...

Condition: Good. : Stephen Beckett, un adolescente de Stoke en los años setenta, siempre ha sentido que nació en la clase social equivocada. Ya en la madurez, tras haber logrado abrir su propio restaurante de moda en Brighton, parece haber alcanzado el éxito. Sin embargo, pronto descubrirá que el precio de ese estilo de vida es mucho más alto de lo que imaginaba, poniendo en riesgo su matrimonio, su familia, su negocio y su propia cordura.Atrapado en una nueva vida y obsesionado con una bailarina que lo desprecia, Stephen se enfrenta a una pregunta fundamental: ¿es la clase social algo que se define por lo que hay en el plato o por sus verdaderos ingredientes? Para descubrir su lugar en el mundo, deberá enfrentarse a verdades mucho menos apetecibles que cualquier plato de su menú.
