Topographic Kitchens

A feast of writing about food, eating and cookbooks in one easy-to-access place. Winner of the Guild of Food Writers Award for best online food writing 2020. Written by Fortnum & Mason's Cookery Writer of the Year 2022.

"Can we indulge and also respect?” asks Kevin Vaughn in his excellent piece, 'What Should the Future of Travel Journalism Look Like?' I thought long and hard before deciding that I would add a ‘travel section’ to this newsletter after reading it. Topographic Kitchens goes on holiday is tongue in cheek because most of the time my posts will not be about places I have 'gone away to' in the traditional sense.

A paywalled series of mini-reviews of books about food and cooking.

I have a monthly 2-hour slot on Suffolk Sound Radio with host Karen Cannard where I discuss food culture, books and food writing, and interview local (and not-so) people doing interesting things. This section will contain links to the books, people, and events I mention on air. and a catch-up link that works for seven days post-show. The station is keen to attract presenters and behind-the-scenes volunteers from diverse backgrounds. Please get in touch via info@suffolksound.
