Around the Table with Diana Henry

One of UK's finest food writers, and long-term friend of Toppings, Diana Henry returns to the bookshop to speak on Around the Table. This is an essay collection on places, people and food, handpicked from over two decades of her much-loved cookbooks.

For Henry's followers, her evocative writing brings just as much pleasure as her delicious recipes. She has followed her taste buds around the world - from the bustling Turkish groceries on Edgware Road, to the French cottage kitchen, a trattoria in Rome's suburbs, to the Vermont countryside famed for its maple syrup.

With such a well-travelled food connoisseur, you are sure to dive into various flavours, from salty, sweet and buttery olives, blood-red saffron, yolk-yellow streaks over creamy chicken and milky yogurt, Valencia oranges, and a simple warming slice of toast.

This nourishing collection on the joys of good food brings ingredients to life on the page.
