I devoured this book! A combination of fiction, personal essays and poetry, there were so many parts I enjoyed! I loved Maria Ilona Moore’s ode to sun drenched apricots. Amy Feldman’s essay on food and identity resonated with me. Candy E.V Somerville’s poetry was a joy to read. I loved Syeda Salmah’s essay about eating with your hands and Kate Young’s essay about meals for one. Tutku Barbaros’s story was wonderfully written. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of writing about food!

It’s not a new joke but I devoured this in a couple of commutes - Including deliberately pausing to let the sections sink in. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get round to it.

I absolutely adored this collection of fiction, non-fiction and poetry on women and food. So many beautiful pieces on love, loss, identity and friendship, and not to mention the gorgeous cover! I thoroughly enjoyed this and can’t wait for more publications from Dear Damsels.

Gorgeous, evocative, varied writing from women on the subject of food. I've been slowly making my way through this, picking it up whilst I wait for my coffee to percolate or dough to rise, and it has been a joy. I've discovered some new to me writers who I'm excited to see more from. I can't wait for Dear Damsels next collection
