'Diana Henry is thrillingly alive to both the poetry and the practicalities of food, and reading her is a nourishing, resonant pleasure in itself.' Nigella Lawson
'It is completely wonderful, rich, lyrical, moving and incredibly hungry-making - I couldn't recommend it more highly. In fact I can think of few better books, in any genre, to curl up with as the nights draw in.' India Knight

Diana Henry's gorgeous memoir-through-food is the perfect Christmas gift for the foodie in your life.
'A table is where we eat and talk, where we connect...What and how we eat remains a source of constant fascination to me, as is how particular ingredients spread across the world. I want to make links and trace patterns. Food is about history, geography, our habits, imagination and how we relate to each other.' Diana Henry
For Diana's many admirers, her evocative writing about places, people and food brings just as much pleasure as her delicious recipes. Around the Table is a selection of some of Diana's very best essays, handpicked from more than two decades of her beloved cookbooks.
Moving, funny and incisive, together these pieces form a memoir through food.
