Something to Eat and Something to Read Q&A

This one is a bit closer to home with Germaine quizzing Sophie about her new book, writing cookbooks and a menu of greats to soothe pre-launch anxiety.

It’s a slightly different Q&A newsletter today because it’s a slightly different month for one-half of the Something to Eat and Something to Read team… Sophie’s latest cookbook What Can I Bring is published this coming Tuesday! As a celebration for that, I thought it would be fun to make Sophie the subject of this newsletter. Let’s find out together what Sophie’s solutions are for those times we are asked to “bring a plate”. 

Congratulations again, Sophie. I think it’s amazing that you find the time to both cook AND read. And write! You really are both parts of this podcast… although I did manage to cook your Soboro Don recipe from In Good Company this week, I am out of balance on the Something to Eat front. Maybe What Can I Bring will inspire me to get back in the kitchen…

G: I have to say, I am always relieved when I ask ‘what can I bring’ and I’m told ‘just a bottle of wine and yourself!’ Yet, there is an alternate (or perhaps fictional) version of me in another universe who could just whip up a plate to take to a party without having to spend half a day preparing it. What would you suggest to make this fictional version of me more of a reality?
