Felicity Cloake

Join us for an evening with 'the nation's taster in chief', Felicity Cloake, to celebrate paperback publication of Red Sauce Brown Sauce. Described by Neil Frizell as 'a treat for your senses and as a way of supporting smaller, traditional food producers...funny, enlightening and evocative', this is Felicity at her most charming and joyful.

We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other.

Felicity Cloake is the multi award-winning author of the Guardian's long-running How to Make the Perfect series, the New Statesman's food column and six books, the most recent of which, One More Croissant for the Road, was shortlisted for the Fortnum and Mason food book of the year award, as well as being a Radio 4 Book of the Week. Red Sauce, Brown Sauce is her hotly awaited follow up.
