How should food writing work? “On the one hand, it should communicate
the demands of craft, expressing the physical skill of cookery with
words on a page; on the other, food writing should convey emotional
content, the ability of food to carry inside it memories personal and

dominate above the other.” – LitHub

Julia Amory, founder of India Amory, recommended Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crownby Anne Glenconner this week. I told her that I wasn’t allowed to buy any new books until I read the ones I already had piled up but then went ahead and ordered it anyway. It’s touted as, “an extraordinary memoir of drama, tragedy, and royal secrets by Anne Glenconner–a close member of the royal circle and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret. As seen on Netflix’s The Crown.” Sounds very exciting and I can’t wait to start reading it.
