Food in Contemporary Literature

Tuck into a selection of the best food writing in contemporary fiction. Feast on tales translated from French and Japanese to authors writing contemporary New York and Britain — where food is used both as delicious anecdotes, but also to explore tales of life at large, love, heartbreak and family. Try your hand at recipes inspired by stand-out moments in each book, from shortbread with cream to sesame chicken. Interact with these texts in a new way and leave with some real food for thought. 

Bon appétit !
