About this episode

Gilly Smith interviews Felicity Cloake about her debut novel and culinary adventures.

This week, we're back at Cooking the Books live in Brighton with Felicity Cloake (and Wilf the Wonderdog) to talk about her debut novel, The Underdog. We know Felicity from her Bridget Jones-on-a-bike style adventures across France in One More Croissant for the Road , the UK in Red Sauce, Brown Sauce and America in Peach Street to Lobster Lane . But she's also the Queen of Culinary Perfection in her Guardian column, How to Cook the Perfect... , and has somehow managed to combine both personalities in Katy, the hapless protagonist in her first rom com. Gilly finds a thin line between fact and fiction. Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites and a recipe for one of Felicity's food moments whipped up by Jo at Sussex Surplus.
