Felicity Cloake: Red Sauce, Brown Sauce

<p>This week, Gilly chats about the Great British breakfast with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/felicity-cloake" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Guardian writer</a>, author and culinary detective, <a href="https://felicitycloake.com/about/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Felicity Cloake</a>. </p><br><p>Her latest book <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/red-sauce-brown-sauce/felicity-cloake/2928377083847" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Red Sauce, Brown Sauce</em></a> is her second foray into food-as-national-identity by bike; she toured France for her last book <a href="https://play.acast.com/s/cooking-the-books/felicity-cloake-one-more-croissant-for-the-road" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>One More Croissant for the Road</em></a> and found much more than a tasty bite in both. After years of Brexit, Covid conspiracies and partygate, Britain is a divided nation, and Felicity has prised it open even further as she investigates the biggest divide of them all: red sauce or brown. But her 2,388km cycle around Britain over 7 weeks which took her deeply into British food is a fascinating (and often hilarious) snapshot of Britain as she finds a country in transition with a food culture slipping right now into the pages of history.</p><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
