Welcome back! We’re so happy to share this episode with you, a conversation between two book and food lovers, for our fellow book and food lovers!
In this episode, we come back to the idea of “faction” and, when it can be problematic, the fantasy of elaborate dinner parties that take days to prepare and the reality of “Life Among the Savages”, aka everyday chaos. Sophie waxes on about the pleasure of cooking for “one stomach”, and we both agree with our beloved MFK Fisher when she writes about the joy of “being a guest of yourself”.
Plus we answer our listener letter with books to read and recipes to cook and share with ages from 6-70.
Something to Eat and Something to Read is a listener-supported podcast, and while it will always be free to tune in to every episode, our shownotes, plus recipes, Germaine’s book recommendations, and Sophie’s step-by-step Souffle recipe (with videos just to prove they’re really not hard) will be emailed to our subscribers separately (later today).

Many many thanks and happy listening!
