Diana Henry's gorgeous memoir-through-food is the perfect Christmas gift for the foodie in your life.

'A table is where we eat and talk, where we connect...What and how we eat remains a source of constant fascination to me, as is how particular ingredients spread across the world. I want to make links and trace patterns. Food is about history, geography, our habits, imagination and how we relate to each other.' Diana Henry

For Diana's many admirers, her evocative writing about places, people and food brings just as much pleasure as her delicious recipes. Around the Table is a selection of some of Diana's very best essays, handpicked from more than two decades of her beloved cookbooks.

Moving, funny and incisive, together these pieces form a memoir through food.©2025 Diana Henry
