WORKSHOP Sudi Pigott: Taste, Describe, Devour – A Food Writing Workshop

What does memory taste like? And how do you turn flavour into irresistible prose?

Join acclaimed food writer, broadcaster and critic Sudi Pigott for a lively sensory masterclass exploring the art of food writing.

Inspired by her deliciously provocative new book Consider the Anchovy – a witty, flavour-packed cultural odyssey celebrating one of the culinary world’s most divisive ingredients – this immersive session will use guided tastings (with allergy and dietary considerations in mind), close observation and playful writing prompts to sharpen both palate and pen.

Participants are invited to bring one flavour they adore and one they can’t stand, using taste, memory and instinct as raw creative material. Perfect for aspiring writers, devoted food lovers and anyone who believes appetite and imagination belong at the same table.
