Loaves & Wishes
Writers Writing on Food
More about the book
To mark Oxfam's 50th anniversary, Virago and Oxfam present an anthology of international writers on food, with contributions from, among others, Maeve Binchy, Germaine Greer, Margaret Drabble, Attia Hosain and Maxine Hong Kingston. The 20 well-known women writers explore the nuances of love, nurturing, festivities, family and social bonds that people associate with growing, cooking and eating food through a mixture of autobiography, fiction, poetry and polemic. A photograph of each author introduces her piece and a favourite completes it. The book is also interspersed throughout with Worldwide Food Facts.
