AWW23: Food for Thought - Claudia Roden

Chair: Amanda Vanstone.


More than 50 years ago, Claudia Roden’s A Book of Middle
Eastern Food introduced the flavours of the Middle East to
western readers. Long before Ottolenghi, she introduced homecooks
around the world to the delights of cumin and coriander from
Egypt, sumac and tamarind from Syria and Lebanon, pomegranates
from Iran and harissa from Africa. Claudia Roden CBE talks about
flavours and cooking at home with the Hon Amanda Vanstone AO,
owner of over 500 cookbooks and a whiz with braised duck and
turnips.


Event details: This conversation was not held live in front of an
audience at Adelaide Writers' Week but was recorded separately.
