. For me food is about so much more than eating. It’s about memory, childhood, culture and celebration. So I write about history and food and books – but really I just make connections between what I read, the time of year, what I feel like cooking, or what I spy when I go to market. It’s personal. You can read more of Liz’s work in her book Cornish Feasts and Festivals (2013), which is available on Amazon. . A new commentary on Jewish music, arts, and culture.

Making sense of a puzzling world with quality history & literature. I am currently doing a series on all 120 winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature as a window onto the history of the modern world. I am developing a 'read-along' model focussed on quality world history and historical fiction for next year. I offer history courses and will be refining them over next few months (currently at courses.jeffrichwriter.com) and have published three books: Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Bureaucrat; From the Burning Archive; and Gathering Flowers of the Mind.
