Felicity Cloake's Adventures in Food, in conversation with Emily Chappell

Felicity Cloake travels the world to eat: she’s cycled round France in search of the perfect croissant; toured the UK exploring the Great British breakfast; and comes to York, as her latest book, ‘Peach Street to Lobster Lane’, a culinary tour of America, comes out in paperback.

In this evening of entertaining, evocative and revealing chat, Felicity will reflect on her two-wheeled culinary missions, in conversation with adventurer and author Emily Chappell.

Felicity has written the Guardian’s ‘How to Make the Perfect…’ column since 2009 and is author of eight acclaimed books, including ‘The A-Z of Eating: A Flavour Map for the Adventurous Cook’ (2016), the Sunday Times bestselling One More Croissant for the Road (2019) and Fortnum and Mason food book of the year, Red Sauce, Brown Sauce: A British Breakfast Odyssey (2022).

Emily Chappell is author of What Goes Around (about her life as a London bike messenger) and Where There's a Will (about her experiences in endurance bike racing.)
