Felicity Spector: Bread and War

from Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

This week, we're with Channel 4 news writer, social media food influencer and nominee for the Jane Grigson Trust Sous Chef Award for debut food writing, Felicty Spector. Bread and War: A Ukrainian Story of Food, Bravery and Hope is an exploration of the profound role of food in wartime Ukraine. Felicity’s trips through devastated villages, bombed cities, family kitchens, and precarious bakeries meeting everyday extraordinary people showed her how food, particularly bread, has become a powerful symbol of Ukrainian identity, resistance, and hope. Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Felicity. You can buy Felicity's book from the Cooking the Books shop at Bookshop.org which supports independent bookshops.
