Slutty Cheff
‘It’s the two best things in the world: food and sex.’
Slutty Cheff is an anonymous London chef who knows what it’s really like to work in the capital's hectic restaurant scene.
From working sixty-hour weeks in windowless kitchens and being the only woman in the changing room to the pure thrill of a busy service, falling in love with other chefs and cycling home through a city bubbling over with potential, Slutty Cheff’s misadventures in food and sex are about experiencing and embracing life to the fullest. The pleasure and the chaos included . . .
An exquisite broth of raw Anthony Bourdain-style honesty with a pinch of the sharp wit of Lena Dunham’s Girls, Tart Is THE book for those who like to eat and f**k.
‘I devoured this book like a ravenous customer and I love it wildly. It’s the most visceral food and sex writing out there – utterly delicious and utterly new.’ Lena Dunham
‘A young Anthony Bourdain which we haven’t seen in female food writing before – visceral, hedonistic and gutsy.’ Dolly Alderton©2025 Slutty Cheff (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews
[A] sexy, frank, delectable memoir… One of the delights of Tart is a vivid, vicarious sense of being young and in love – with food, with sex, with life and, most of all, with London itself. Tart is a book about appetites, elegant and refined at times, at others visceral and heartfelt and crude. It’s a Rabelaisian romp, a dive into no-holds-barred gourmandise. But it’s also a serious work; despite her rollicking spirit, Slutty Cheff isn’t kidding around. Her real subject is the intersection of work and love, and what it means to have a true calling. Whether hers is writing, cooking or both remains to be seen, but I’ll gladly stick around to find out. (The New York Times)
I devoured this book like a ravenous customer and I love it wildly. It's the most visceral food and sex writing out there - utterly delicious and utterly new.
A young Anthony Bourdain which we haven't seen in female food writing before - visceral, hedonistic and gutsy
A startlingly gripping and funny glimpse into what goes on behind the kitchen doors, with sauce of all kinds oozing from every page. Deft and confident writing as sharp as a chef’s knife that made me gasp, laugh and blush all at the same time. In another imagined life, I am a chef and this book made me yearn for that and simultaneously very glad that I’m not.
Slutty Cheff is an exhilarating new voice, as spiky and eye-opening as Fernet Branca. And her book is one great sweaty, sweary, sexy ride.
I don’t know whether to be hungry or horny — I absolutely inhaled this book either way.
Tart is perfect. It’s reminded me that, even though I’ve questioned my choice of working in kitchens after many tough shifts, I’ll never leave the industry because it’s where I feel at home.
A book every young cook should read
Women writing like this will surely save us from something terrible. Audacious yet vulnerable, Tart is like guts and bread with butter you can see teeth marks in. It is intimate, honest, painful, labour intensive, fizzy, both sweet & wild & honestly a much needed plaster for the yearn burn that life dishes out. I need this book.
Essential reading on chef life and London's food scene from, I am sure, the new generation's Bourdain.
Tart superbly captures the emotional rollercoaster of the professional kitchen world, I feel very well represented as a female chef.
I loved this, devoured in two days! What a love story! A love story of finding self and joy, through cooking, and all the complications that true love brings. It was so easy to get hooked. It is also a beautiful exploration of what friendship means – between old friends, new colleagues, and the city of London, a character in its own right. Funny, heart breaking, visceral, and so full of joy you are always rooting for Slutty Cheff.
