Our next book is Heat by Bill Buford. This is a book that promises to take us back into the frenzy of the professional kitchen, so I hope you enjoy it. It also has the subtitle " An amateur's adventures as kitchen slave, line cook, pasta-maker, and apprentice to a Dante-quoting butcher in Tuscany." What's not to like about that?

We will meet as usual in the Summertown Wine Cafe.

Please join us for a discussion of Soyer, a nineteenth-century celebrity chef, author, inventor and campaigner to improve hospital kitchens in Crimea.

We will meet as usual in the Summertown Wine Cafe.
