Andre Simon Awards Shortlist: Rachel Roddy

The second in a special series in conjunction with the Andre
Simon Awards 2021 .Each week, we'll start with an appraisal of
each shortlisted author by this year's food assessor, the award
winning Nigerian author, Yemisi Aribisala. Her book
Longthroat Memoirs: Soups, Sex, and the Nigerian Taste Buds,
which won the John Avery Award in the Andre Simons in
2016, uses Nigerian food as an entry point to think more
deeply and understand culture and society. 


This week, Yemisi describes the storytelling style, rigour and
'good heartedness' that defines Guardian food columnist Rachel
Roddy's work, and her latest book, The A-Z of Pasta:
Stories, Shares, Sauces, Recipes, before we return to Rome during
Lockdown when Gilly and Rachel first met.
