Hello, my name is Rebecca May Johnson, and here is the audio podcast version of my ninth newsletter, with the title Theme and Variations. In it, I read aloud a very short essay about cheese on a crisp, give recipes for savoury black beans and lemon ice cream, and notes on what I've been eating including congee-like soup, and a broccoli ricotta dish.

Next week’s newsletter will be dispatches from Rome!
