Critics Review
Coren gets to do what he does best toot the horn of his blazing wit and linguistic skill, best exercised in relation to himself and we realise there s scope for irritation about things we d never even considered before. Coren fans will devour these short bursts of vitriol it s his classic and best prose. Some will roll their eyes at his narcissism but let s face it, if there s one writer who can pull off a stunt like this, it s Mr Coren. - City AM
The anger bit is pretty obvious but the management aspect is more mysterious. Unless it’s that any unsuspecting angry nutter who picks it up assuming it’s a self-help manual will eventually put it down thinking, blimey, I don’t have a problem at all next to Psycho there. - SpectrumThis Week We’re… wishing we could be as blunt about life as Giles Coren in his book Anger Management for Beginners…Obesity, footballers, skiing, cycle helmets, barcodes, dogs - nothing escapes his well-aimed, acerbic barbs.

Giles Coren
Giles Coren has been a restaurant critic for The Times for the last ten years. Before that, he was restaurant critic of the Independent on Sunday. Before that, he was restaurant critic for Tatler. Before that, he was a journalist. In 2005, he was named Food and Drink Writer of the Year, published his first (and last) novel, Winkler and began presenting The F-Word on Channel 4 with Gordon Ramsay. Since then, he has presented a documentary series on biotechnology in the food chain (Animal Farm), a polemical film about the obesity crisis (Tax the Fat), and three series of The Supersizers Go…with Sue Perkins, who does the funny stuff whilst Coren eats his way through 2,000 years of food history with the table manners of a pig recently released from prison. His most recent television series, Our Food, aired on BBC2 in April 2012. He lives in Kentish Town with his wife, the writer Esther Walker, and his daughter, the toddler Kitty Coren, who recently developed a taste for good dim sum and will thus be allowed to stay.
