Comfort Eating Live with Grace Dent! Food, Memory and Nostalgia

History &
Social Policy

The foods we turn to behind closed doors are deeply personal, saturated in  memories and topped with a healthy dollop of guilty pleasure. In Comfort Eating, Grace Dent throws open her kitchen cupboards to reveal why we hold these secret snacks, naughty nibbles and hand-me-down recipes so dear to our hearts.

Join the author, critic and broadcaster – and one of our best loved writers on food – live at Union Chapel on October 8 to discuss the deep connections between food, memory, love and life.
