What She's Having

More about the book

Food is about so much more than just the first bite . . .What we eat can fill us up, satisfy our needs or leave us hungry for more. It connects us to our culture, defines our routines and flavours our fondest memories.Whole stories are made across a dinner table, and in What She’s Having, sixteen writers explore the complex and meaningful relationships that women have with the food we cook, eat and share.From an essay about elaborate meals for one, an ode to eating with your hands, a story about the love to be found in a plateful of pasta, and a tale exploring the darker side of what we crave: this is a collection that explores food and all its nuances – and celebrates each and every mouthful.For anyone who loves reading what women have to say about food, this collection of fiction, non-fiction and poetry is something to savour.
