Sudi Pigott considers the anchovy

About this episode

Sudi Pigott discusses her new book on anchovies and the broader themes of food and cooking.

Journalist and author Sudi Pigott has spent nearly three decades writing about food and travel. In her new book, Consider the Anchovy: a Journey in Pursuit of the Little Fish With the Big Flavour, she pays homage to one of her favourite ingredients, albeit one she thinks is in need of a rebrand. Jen chats to Sudi about why we should consider the anchovy, 'foodie' culture for the masses, and who inspires her when it comes to cooking. Learn more about your ad choices.
