If a bad attitude could be subject to copyright, my ten years as a waiter would have left me obscenely wealthy. Working the floor, I was the Kerry Packer of passive aggression. Sullen insolence was my personal trademark, diligently honed and perfected over time. For a long list of perceived diner slights - ranging from ordering the tomato sauce separately to the fries, to calling me 'dear' - I could perform a Jekyll and Hyde switch into the most perfunctory, robotic and joyless server the world has ever seen. If I didn't like a group of people I would endeavour to do my very best to ensure that the only thing left of their night was a cold, dry husk. That I regularly used something I privately referred to as the 'Dead Eyes' should reveal plenty. Before she was one of Australia's top restaurant critics, Larissa Dubecki was one of its worst waitresses. A loving homage to her ten-year reign of dining-room terror, Prick With a Fork takes you where a diner should never go. From the crappiest suburban Italian to the hottest place in town, what goes on behind the scenes is rarely less fraught than the seventh circle of hell. Psychopathic chefs, lecherous owners, impossible demands and insufferable customers are just the start of an average shift. Therapy for former waiters, a revelation to diners, and pure reading pleasure for anyone interested in what really happens out the back of the restaurant, Prick With a Fork is an hilarious and horrific dissection of the restaurant industry, combining the gritty take-no-prisoners attack of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential with the gross confessions and forensic grunge of John Birmingham's He Died with a Felafel in His Hand. Dining out will never be the same again.

Many people have asked me why I've written this book. The reason is simple. Although I have lived around diabetes since I was seven years old, even though several of my friends and neighbours were diagnosed with the condition years ahead of my own recent diagnosis, it wasn't until I was diagnosed that I truly realised the terrifying level of apathy and denial there is about diabetes, the minefield of misinformation that is out there, nor how enormous the spread of this global pandemic has become. There are countless books and theories and claims and counterclaims about diabetes, and in no way is this modest little publication designed to be the ultimate authority on the disease – far from it. No, my reason for doing this is to make you laugh, make you think, wake you up and show you both how easy and how important it is that you take responsibility and take it seriously… NOW. My father was a pharmaceutical chemist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Health (London), chairman of an international pharmaceutical company… and a diabetic. He was diagnosed with Type Two diabetes when he was 36 years old, slim bordering on skinny, active and otherwise healthy. His career began in medical research and ultimately took him all over the world from the darkest corners of West Africa to the most fashionable quarters of Paris and the Caribbean. In the process he met some of the finest medical minds on the planet (many of whom are still my personal friends) and he witnessed some horrors that defy belief… and he did all this as a diabetic.Open, raw, honest, at times funny, at times poignant, at times unapologetically confrontational, this book is designed to inspire, assist and guide you – particularly if you are pre-diabetic, newly diagnosed with diabetes Type Two, or if you are a friend or family member of a diabetic. All facts and statistics in this book have sources from the official authorities on diabetes… my irreverent language and tone have not!* Enjoy * Be inspired * Take action!
