Description
Join acclaimed writers Samantha Ellis and Bee Wilson for a fascinating conversation exploring food, memory, identity, and storytelling.
From Ellis’s evocative memoirs about heritage and home to Wilson’s insightful writing on the politics and pleasures of eating, both authors delve into how what we cook and consume shapes who we are.
Together, they discuss the personal and cultural histories woven through recipes, the emotional charge of family meals, and the power of food writing to nourish connection across generations. This intimate event promises to be a rich and thoughtful dialogue between two of Britain’s most engaging literary voices.
