Event details

Join food writers Felicity Cloake, award-winning author of the Guardian’s long-running How to Cook the Perfect column, and Samuel Goldsmith, food copy editor at BBC Good Food, to find out what it’s like to write and test recipes for a living, how to develop a good recipe, and what the future of food writing might look like.

From baking banana bread to budget recipes - hear about the changing trends in the food industry, and discover how the past two years in particular have not only changed how we live, but also what we cook and eat.

Come along for an exciting discussion with Q&A that will make you look at your favourite recipes in a new light.

This event will take place live on Zoom Webinar. You’ll receive a link to join a couple of days before the event takes place and a reminder an hour before. During the event, you can ask questions via a Q&A function, but audience cameras and microphones will remain muted throughout.

Book sales

You can buy copies of many of our speakers’ books from Fox Lane Books, a local independent bookseller and Festival partner. In some cases, author signed bookplates are available too.
