Hello!
I’m Sarah Emily – that’s me about to eat an enormous breakfast – and welcome to my blog. I’m a South African historian who’s specialised in histories of childhood, food, and medicine.
This is not a food blog, but, rather, a blog about food – and, more specifically, about food, eating, and cooking. The world has enough recipes for red velvet cake floating around the internet. Here, I’m taking a closer look at the complex relationships between eating and identity; between cooking and politics; and between food and power.
So jealous I could spit. BTW, where is Ciao???
Ha! It’ll be in next week’s collection of photos. As Lamb’s Conduit Street changes, Ciao just looks more like itself. (Although that odd man in the hat wasn’t sitting outside it today. Perhaps put off by the snow?)
‘The approach you could call “Anglo-eclectic-molecular-quasi-Nordic-foraged-imagist” ’ is from a review of John Salt in Islington by Giles Coren of The Times. The dear old Grauniad provides this: “Have you ever licked a brick before?” http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/dec/07/john-salt-london-restaurant-review Golly.
Aha! Thank you so much – that’s very illuminating.
