This week on Food For Thought, a visit to Canzine West, an independent ‘zine and website fair put on by Broken Pencil. Meet some young food writers who read excerpts from their works. Listen to the audio file here. One of the writers you heard from was Trish Kelly, here’s her blog. Ben Hart was also featured, reading his odes to donuts. He’s the fiction editor at Prism International Magazine.
If you want to get into some good food writing you can start with these authors: MFK Fisher, Elizabeth David, R.W. Apple, Mark Kurlansky, Anthony Bourdain and Michael Pollan.
Greetings – I enjoyed your program today. Perhaps you can help me with a question about a discussion on CBC Radio a couple of days ago, I believe on Monday. I caught only the last minute or two while in my car, but the topic seemed to concern a new book on Mediterranean cooking – I heard just enough to catch my interest. I would like to find the book in question. I have not found anything on the CBC Website about the discussion – can you or someone at CBC help me? Thanks.
