Episode 3, Season 2 - Something to Eat and Something to Read

Where the book Lessons in Chemistry gets us thinking about breaking out of society’s boxes, changing directions, spinach casseroles and family. Plus reading and cooking for joy and lightness.

Welcome to Episode 3, Season 2!

This might be my favourite episode so far (Sophie talking here!); a really gentle and hopefully comforting chat about breaking out of boxes we or society put us in, about taking cooking seriously and treating yourself with infinite courtesy (thank you MFK Fisher for that wonderful turn of phrase, as always).

Also, is listening to a book ‘as good as’ reading it? We discuss.

Our book this episode is Bonnie Garmus’s Lessons in Chemistry, and our letter is, as they always are, beautiful. This one asking for some recommendations for things to read and cook to bring lightness and joy to a heavy time.

This episode really is choc-a-block with good things to read, listen to and cook. My wishlist of books tor read (or listen to) is ever-growing!

As always, the shownotes, links and recipes will be sent to our wonderful Subscribers shortly. You can become one via the link below! Thank you so much. We are so grateful for your support.

Thank you, as always, to our producer Kristy Reading for putting these pods together. And to Smith and Jones for allowing us to include your beautiful music in each episode.

Something to Eat and Something to Read
Something to Eat and Something is a podcast about cooking and reading, and reading about cooking. Hosted by food writer Sophie Hansen and Bibliotherapist/Psychotherapist Germaine Leece; we believe that you should never go anywhere, or for too long, without something to eat and something to read.
So every episode we’re going to dive into a book we’ve both read and talk about the ’shape’ it left on both of us. And because this is a podcast about reading about cooking; these books will all have a strong connection with food (of course). Part two will be the listener letter which we’ll select then read out loud. Germaine will prescribe a book and I’ll recommend a recipe.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy putting it together for you, Sophie and Germaine x
