About the event
Cooking the Books Live is an IRL version of the acclaimed podcast hosted by journalist, author, and award-winning podcaster Gilly Smith. The show explores life, culture, and society through the lens of food, featuring in-depth conversations with leading food writers, chefs, and thinkers.
Each episode delves into the personal and cultural stories behind food, linking delicious dishes to broader social, ethical, and historical themes. Guests, usually top food writers, share four "food moments" from their latest books, offering listeners unique insights into their culinary journeys.
You can find a loyal band of food book fans at the show cosying up at Patio, its home from home in Brighton, East Sussex, and buy a signed copy of the books from local indie bookshop, CookBookBake's pop up.
