Around the Table: 52 Essays on Food & Life
by Diana Henry
€ 16.25
ISBN: 9781846017797
A Food & Drink Book of the Year in The Times.
'One of her finest books yet.' Bee Wilson, the Sunday Times
'Diana Henry stands alongside Nigella Lawson and Nigel Slater as a writer whose prose is as nourishing as her recipes...Wonderful stuff." Tony Turnbull, The Times
'Diana Henry's food writing is a gift...I so loved reading this book. It is poignant, funny, and just plain great.' Stanley Tucci
'Lyrical...radiant...timeless. A dazzling collection.' Nigel Slater
'Diana Henry is thrillingly alive to both the poetry and the practicalities of food, and reading her is a nourishing, resonant pleasure in itself.' Nigella Lawson
'It is completely wonderful, rich, lyrical, moving and incredibly hungry-making - I couldn't recommend it more highly. In fact I can think of few better books, in any genre, to curl up with as the nights draw in.' India Knight
'An all too rare blend of sensible and sensuous writing on food. Up there with Elizabeth David's An Omelette and a Glass of Wine, this book will last.' Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
'Diana writes like a dream' Daily Mail
'The food writers' food writer' Mark Diacono
***
'A table is where we eat and talk, where we connect...What and how we eat remains a source of constant fascination to me, as is how particular ingredients spread across the world. I want to make links and trace patterns. Food is about history, geography, our habits, imagination and how we relate to each other.' Diana Henry
For Diana's many admirers, her evocative writing about places, people and food brings just as much pleasure as her delicious recipes. Around the Table is a beautiful collection of some of Diana's very best essays, handpicked from more than two decades of her beloved cookbooks.
Moving, funny and incisive, together these pieces form a memoir through food.
