Join one of the nation’s best-loved faces in food, Grace Dent, for this very special event live in Manchester.About this Event
Comfort Eating, the podcast and now the book, is about those things you eat when noon is looking. Those things you turn to for a culinary cuddle. And how the best dinners are sometimes the ones cobbled together from stuff in tins and the bottom of the freezer, because they’re an act of self-love.
Inspired by her award-winning podcast of the same name, Comfort Eating is a reflection on the way human beings actually eat. What do these snacks actually evoke? That cheesy, buttery sandwich we ate after a rough day at school; that crispy skinned jacket spud with beans that mother made us after building a snowman; that slapdash pasta sauce that has got us through difficult times. Good eating does not have to be fancy, or expensive or always organic. Sometimes it is about flavours, brands and simple combinations that escort us back to a safe place.
Grace will be in conversation with fellow food critic Jimi Famurewa, sharing joyous memories of their own go-to comfort foods, asking you to discuss yours and working out what makes them delicious. Is it the big slab of butter? The starchy carbs? Or the large pinch of nostalgia?
Join Grace at Contact Theatre, Manchester, where you will also have the opportunity to put forward your own questions. You can purchase a copy of Comfort Eating at the discounted price of £15 with your ticket (RRP £20). See ticket options for further details.
This event will not be recorded and will not be available to watch afterwards.
