Your chance to hear from award-winning food writer

Budding cooks have the chance to join a multi award-winning food writer this week.

Diana Henry, a journalist, broadcaster and cook book author, will be holding a lunchtime teacher-student reunion with her former teacher, Fiona Burrell, at the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School (ENTCS) this Friday, on 6 April, at noon.

Fiona will talk to Diana about her career to date, her cook books and in particular her latest book How to Eat a Peach, which focuses on Diana’s love of planning menus.

How to Eat a Peach will be published on 5 April, turning this event into an exclusive opportunity to meet the author and see the book hot off the press.

The menus in the book reflect places Diana loves and dishes that are her real favourites.
