Book Description
As the star of the award-winning BBC series The Apprentice, Alan Sugar has won millions of fans who tune in to watch his mix of business wisdom, witty putdowns and ability to cut straight through bullshit. But how did the famously straight-talking entrepreneur end up fronting one of our most successful and long-running shows, and why were some of his biggest challenges during his ten years in television to be found outside the boardroom and off camera? In Unscripted, Alan Sugar reveals all this and more as he embarks on a new and sometimes bewildering career. He describes how he lost patience with some of the luvvies, wafflers and wannabes he encountered along the way, and tells us what he really thought of some of the tasks and candidates he came across during the making of The Apprentice, giving his reaction to the egos and the backbiting as well as the genuine talent that shone through. He explains how he brought on board Nick Hewer, Margaret Mountford and Karren Brady, what became of the winners when the cameras stopped rolling - and how working on the show has inspired him and many others. As with his previous books, What You See Is What You Get and The Way I See It, there is no ghostwriter; this is written by the man himself. And, as ever, it is honest, funny and outspoken - Alan Sugar at his entertaining best.

Book Description
A professor of nutrition leaves his office and heads into the fields of a local farm to dig deeper into the reality of his food. With the help of several of his students, he films his experience chronicling the life of a tomato plant, from seed to harvest, on a small family farm. He is introduced to farm life at quirky Eco Farm by “Big John,” the rock star farmer. Over the course of one summer, he is schooled on the ways of organic agriculture, the sex life of the tomato, is introduced to the enigmatic world of heirloom tomatoes, and ponders the spiritual life of plants and the miracle of a seed. Told with humor and personal anecdotes from his food upbringing in New Jersey in the 1960s, he takes a fresh look at the changes in the American dietary landscape over the last half-century, and attempts to salvage a connection to his food.

He decides to track down the story behind “Aunt Ruby” and her backyard tomato treasure, hidden from the world for most of her life. What starts out as a straightforward plan to learn more about where his food comes from, takes him on a journey of self-discovery that leaves him questioning his core assumptions about nutrition and the very essence of food, finally finding clarity by way of an elderly woman from a little town in Tennessee and her unusual tomato.
