The world of food explored by celebrated chefs, food writers, poets and novelists, The Food Almanac is a stunningly illustrated collection that shows how wholly entwined gastronomy and culture are.
Shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Book Awards 2021
The Food Almanac is a monthly collection of food stories told by an eclectic mix of voices from the literary and food worlds.
From legendary food writers and lauded chefs to up-and-coming poets and debut novelists, each story looks at the gastronomic world through a cultural prism, using food as a way to explore deeper issues. After all, writing about food is, inevitably, writing about life.
This diverse, dazzling collection of food writing includes memoirs, essays, short stories and poems, all commissioned specially for the collection by Miranda York, editor of At The Table magazine.
Food can inspire and bring people together: to share conversations, to share ideas, to share knowledge, and feel connected. Our happiest moments are often created sitting round a table, sharing food and stories with people we love, people we admire, or even people we've just met. Join us at the table, all year round.
