Happy anniversary, Anissa. Happy to have been a passenger for a small part of that journey. Would love to read that de Beauvoir novel if it ever makes it to page. Happy Christmas. x

Thank you Matt. It’s highly unlikely the novel will ever see the light of day 😹

Wow, thank you for sharing your story with us! Especially for people of our generation, there was never a set path into food writing – I love hearing about how you found your way into it, and what a career it has been! IYour amazing 2018 cookbook 'Feast: Food of the Islamic World' is one of my favorite cookbooks ever! Happy holidays, and congratulations on your first 30 years as a food writer, Anissa!
