Along with that there’s this amazing simplistic wisdom and positive outlook, and his whole approach is just the most refreshing thing. It does wander a little bit, and because it is this mix of memoir, cookbook, graphics, self help, a structural edit could have helped form it up a is all. His views on mental health and its struggles are identifiable to everyone, and the underlying messages of being gentle on yourself, appreciating the small wins and simply striving for everyday happiness while not taking life to seriously is truly the honest truth we all need to hear! Ya see, Nat's got a loud mouth and a taste for taking the piss out of stuff – it's how he lives, laughs and loves. Nat’s What I Reckon was the tattooed lockdown savior we didn’t know we needed, rescuing us from packet food, jar sauce and total boredom with his hilarious viral recipe videos that got us cooking at home like champions again.

Nat’s What I Reckon was the tattooed lockdown saviour we didn’t know we needed, rescuing us from packet food, jar sauce and total boredom with his hilarious viral recipe videos that got us cooking at home like champions again.

and his combination of constant swearing, metalhead appearance, and surprisingly useful cooking advice won me over. Nat makes abundant use of cursing in his writing, much like in his videos, so much so that there is a parental advisory icon on the cover--I've not seen that on books in the States.

Nat's hilarious social commentary has collected him a fast-growing, dedicated audience of over two million along the way, and his videos have clocked up more than 100 million views across all platforms. I’m not sure if I needed this book, but I’ll be God damned if I didn’t bloody enjoy myself reading it! Think Jamie Oliver’s skills meets Gordon Ramsey’s mouth mixed with Viv from the young-ones attitude.Genuinely wholesome book about mental health and generally trying to live a comfortable life, thinly disguised as a book about dumb sayings. He has a down the earth way to saying everyone deals with shit differently, which is refreshing to see. I enjoyed reading UN-COOK YOURSELF, plenty of fun anecdotes and a lot of decent philosophising about society that I tended to mostly agree with. There’s some deep bits, some serious bits, lots of stories that wouldn’t be out of place at a mate’s after a few drinks, or down the pub for that matter. But it's very much in Nat's voice and when I was listening to the audio book, there was something about him addressing me directly as "champion" that got me right in the feels.
