END OF YEAR REVIEW: The best books from 2020 | Updated: 12:55, 07 January 2021 Stratford Literary Festival (SLF) folk and other local reading enthusiasts share their favourite reads from Gill Sutherland (43827353) Wine Girl by Victoria James made very interesting if dangerous reading. Subtitled âA sommelierâs tale of making it in the toxic world of fine diningâ, James gives amazing insight into what goes on behind the scenes in fancy restaurants.

I was responsible for apprenticeships, levy systems and the technology behind that, which is a big technological challenge and then obviously an employment challenge. So I hope that makes a difference. But I think bringing them together was equally as important â the supply chain and then the deployment. ....
