Scour the cupboards, stock the fridge, and get your marmalade sandwiches ready as we talk all about the mouthwatering delights of FOOD in children's literature! What do we remember eating in books when we were younger? Are midnight feasts all they're cracked up to be? And why doesn't real life have as many picnics in as we want it to?
Joining Sam and Caroline around the dinner table with lashings of ginger beer are the award-winning children's writer Katherine Rundell, author of beloved and bestselling books stuffed with plentiful delicious delights, and Kate Young, award-winning food writer, cook and bookworm, author of The Little Library Cookbook with recipes to bring meals from literature to life.
Come for the whipple-scrumptious fudgemallow delight, stay for the edible tarantulas. Will Katherine eat a rat? Can Kate persuade us to try a pie floater? All this, and plenty more, in this week's fully-stocked episode.
