SUMMARY:An Evening with Rebecca May Johnson: Small Fires
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce House of Books & Friends are hosting author Rebecca May Johnson\, in celebration of the paperback release of her book Small Fires! Lauded as ‘an intense enquiry into the very nature of cooking’ by Nigella Lawson and ‘smart\, creative\, thoughtful’ by Ruby Tandoh\, Small Fires is the best of food writing and truly celebrates how joyful cooking can be. \nTickets\nClick here to buy a book and ticket for £9.99\nClick here to buy a ticket only for £5 (this is redeemable against a copy of the book on the evening). \nThere are a small amount of tickets available for those unable to afford them at the moment – please contact us directly at 07597365380 or email bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com. \nAbout Small Fires \nWhy do we cook? Is it just to feed ourselves and others? Or is there something more revolutionary going on? \nIn Small Fires\, Rebecca May Johnson reinvents cooking – that simple act of rolling up our sleeves\, wielding a knife\, spattering red hot sauce on our books – as a way of experiencing ourselves and the world. Cooking is thinking: about the liberating constraint of tying apron strings; the transformative dynamics of shared meals; the meaning of appetite and bodily pleasure; the wild subversiveness of the recipe\, beyond words or control. \nThis joyful\, revelatory work of memory and meditation both complicates and electrifies life in the kitchen. It shows us the radical potential of the thing we do every day: the power of small fires burning everywhere. \nAbout Rebecca May Johnson \nREBECCA MAY JOHNSON has published essays\, reviews and nonfiction with Granta\, Times Literary Supplement and Daunt Books Publishing\, among others\, and is an editor at the trailblazing food publication Vittles. Small Fires is her first book. \n
