Prue Leith cooks up new publishing with Quercus

New "Great British Bake Off" judge, restaurateur Prue Leith, is publishing a revised and updated version of her memoirs Relish with Quercus.

Leith, who appears on the Channel 4 show alongside fellow judge Paul Hollywood tonight (29th August), is updating the book with additional chapters and photos to provide insight into "all her latest life adventures" including her new television career. It publishes as a £7.99 paperback on 5th October.

The memoir is described by Quercus publisher Jane Wood as "grippingly candid". In the past three years since it originally published, Leith, 77, has also re-married.

"Unlike most people in their mid-70s, Prue Leith shows no signs of slowing down," said Wood. "In the past three years she has fallen in love, re-married and launched a major new television career as a Great British Bake Off judge. We are thrilled to be reissuing her grippingly candid memoir, Relish. Revised and updated with additional chapters and photographs, this edition details all her latest life adventures."

Wood has also signed from agent Jane Turnbull rights to the final story in a trilogy of novels by Leith, having already published the first two parts The Food of Love and The Prodigal Daughter in what is known as the Angelotti Chronicles.

The new novel, entitled The Lost Son, chronicles three generations and the lives and loves of an Anglo-Italian family in the restaurant trade. Quercus will publish the book - Leith’s eighth novel with Quercus - in autumn 2018.
