The gift of food

Charlotte Wood will be at the Auckland Writers and Readers Festival in May promoting her new book Love and hunger: thoughts on the gift of food. A prizewinning Australian novelist and short story writer she also writes about food in magazines, newspapers and in her very interesting blog.

Love and hunger describes Charlotte's relationship with food and cooking. It contains recipes but is not a recipe book. It includes handy hints but it is not a kitchen companion. It includes family memories but it is not an autobiography. It is a highly readable feast with lots of courses and I will follow some of her advice. She writes thoughtfully and intelligently and I am looking forward to seeing and hearing her at the Festival.

Look out for further posts from the Festival on more new discoveries.
