What’s your go-to snack when you’re reading or writing? I make picnics on my desk – slices of apple, chunks of cheese, cornichons, crackers. Anything salty.
What’s your favorite piece of writing that has to do with food? The Gastronomical Me by MFK Fisher. And Seamus Heaney’s poem “Oysters.”
What do you think is the most writerly food/drink? Unfortunately, alcohol. I like mine in a Campari soda.
What’s a food you’ve read about that you wish you could actually experience? Freshly harvested white truffles in Alba, Italy. I’ve had them in the states but I can’t imagine the scent fresh out of the ground.
If you had to live off one food for the rest of your life what would it be? Toast.
