Simran Sethi, Bread Wine Chocolate: the Slow Loss of the Foods We Love, (HarperOne: USA, November 2015)

Award-winning journalist Simran Sethi says that “this is a book about food, but it really is a book about love.” Evidence of this can be found throughout the book, as we follow her on her journey towards discovering the origin of her favourite foods, which include Wine, Chocolate, Bread, Beer, Coffee and also Octopus, from plough to plate. Bread Wine Chocolate looks at how these different food items impact the everyday lives of people. Though we have most of these foods for pleasure, we forget the hard work that goes behind cultivating the most beautiful wines and the most exquisite chocolates. This book gives us a behind the scenes look into the story of these foods, and the role each individual, be it a farmer or a consumer or a retailer, plays in the process of creating the finished product.
