Something to Eat and Something to Read, Episode 1, Season 2

Hello and welcome to episode 1/season 2 of Something to Eat and Something to Read - a podcast all about food and reading and reading about food. Our book for this episode is Annabel Abbs’s ‘The Language of Food’, and it sparks a big chat about how good food writing can be its own form of poetry, how reading and cooking can give us a sense of order and calm, historical ‘faction’ and how it gives centre stage to those that history has ignored, small happinesses in difficult seasons and loads more. Please know you don’t have to have read the book to enjoy this episode. We’ll be sending out a newsletter to our subscribers tomorrow, Friday the 29th July with all the recipes, links and recommendations from this episode.
