In this week’s edition, we delve into a captivating discussion on food memoirs from the recent FT Weekend Festival. Cooking and eating are two of the most powerful and universal experiences we humans encounter, making food an extraordinary medium for storytelling. Consequently, food memoirs have skyrocketed in popularity. Lilah engages in a conversation with three talented storytellers with a strong connection to food: renowned chef and FT columnist Ravinder Bhogal, 19-year-old baking prodigy and Instagram sensation Kitty Tait, who authored a book about how baking bread rescued her life, and Angela Hui, whose memoir about growing up in a Chinese takeaway in rural Wales has struck a chord with many readers.
