Hearth Food

An anthology of essays and personal recipes, this book invites the question: what does food mean to you? How is that bond with family passed down through food and the act of sitting down to eat? What happens when that is lost?

Everybody has a story, a recipe, a memory - good or bad - that involves a meal with family. From displacement, to relocation, fleeing, or arriving at leisure, these essays explore what it means to be able to cook and enjoy the food of your home and your happiness.

Ranging from Winberry Pie, Staffordshire oatcakes, to lamb chops with a Zimbabwean twist; Bouillabaisse, Moroccan Keftas and Filhoses, this is a round-the-world recipe book with bite.
