KEITH McNally's memoir I Regret Almost Everything is a chaotic, often fascinating ride through the life of one of New York's most celebrated restaurateurs.

A bit like a restaurant kitchen - lots going on all at once and it seems his life is full of regret. Best known for Balthazar and Minetta Tavern, McNally pulls back the curtain on his early years, successes, and personal disasters.

It starts with a stroke. In 2016, McNally suffered a major one that left him partially paralysed. That sets the tone of raw, brutal honesty and self-indulgence that defines the book.
