Love & Hunger: Thoughts on the Gift of Food is a book about the emotional & symbolic meaning of cooking for people you love. It's a distillation of everything writer Charlotte Wood has learned over 25 years of home cooking, about the pleasures of simple food well made. Published April 30.
aw, shucks
"Author Charlotte Wood writes like a dream, wrestling with some of those common cooking conundrums, such as dealing with 'polenta paranoia', getting back your kitchen mojo and pondering just what the difference is between a chutney, a relish and a pickle. Her blog is also packed with scrumptious recipes - beetroot palak paneer, anyone?"

Any Monkey Magic reference is okay by me. And so is any pork product.
As a German Australian, I have to protest about the Poles claiming Pork knuckle though!
The Poles don’t claim it, they just cook it. Watch the column for a superb German knuckle in a few weeks. One of the most fab things I’ve eaten in ages.
Was it at the Concordia Club by any chance? I have seen the pork knuckles there and they are the size of a large hamster. Too daunting for me but everyone else was hooking in and lovin it.
nope, it was at Rhinedorf in Beverly Hills. Fabulous crackling, tender meat, not too confronting in size. A really good place, especially if you like decor that’s not self-consciously retro but just plain daggy. Waitresses in dirndls etc
Look forward to the column, the Rhindorf is a family favourite for the food and the kitsch!
This being pork knuckle weather, I might just have to make me an excursion to them thar Hills…
