We have teamed up with Kemps Bookstore in the Market place here in Malton to bring you a Book Club with a difference!
We select a book with a some kind of link to
food (sometimes obvious, sometimes less so..!) – you read the book,
then come along and discuss it, while also cooking and eating the food
that it inspires.
Jo Hardy will lead the book discussions, and Gilly Robinson, owner
and Head Tutor of The Cooks Place, will help you create the food – it’s
a great way to bring a love of books and cooking together. It’s a
wonderful night out for a group of book lovers, but also fun to attend
on your own to meet new people and join a group of like-minded souls.
A friendly, welcoming atmosphere awaits – see you there!
From award-winning writer Nigel Slater, comes a new and exquisitely
written collection of notes, memoir, stories and small moments of joy.
For years, Nigel Slater has kept notebooks of curiosities and
wonderings, penned while at his kitchen table, soaked in a fisherman’s
hut in Reykjavik, sitting calmly in a moss garden in Japan or sheltering
from a blizzard in a Vienna Konditorei. These are the small moments,
events and happenings that gave pleasure before they disappeared.
Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a
butterfly settle on a carpet, hiding in plain sight. He gives short
stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish of
restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked
sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan. This
funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often
things that pass many of us by, is utter joy from beginning to end.
