    About this ebook

    An original collection of personal essays blending food writing and memoir, and exploring subjects ranging from Cher’s canapes in the film Mermaids, to the way in which food can become a language we use to communicate things that are too difficult to say, via a history of cookbooks that have their foundations in grieving and loss, and one writer’s experience of the six kitchens she’s made her own over the years.

    Funny, astute and thought provoking, In the Kitchen explores the importance of food in life through a wide range of experiences both in and out of the kitchen.

      reading this left me sad and vaguely depressed. Why is it that the authors all have this complicated relation with food?Still, all in all a very interesting read.
