Felicity Cloake The Underdog and Peach Street to Lobster Lane

The bestselling author and Guardian How To Cook The Perfect...columnist brings us her two latest books: a culinary cycle across the United States and her first foray into (foodie) fiction. In The Underdog, 36-year-old Katie has abandoned a solid, well-paid job to pursue her dream of becoming a chef – but has ended up stuck in a cafe job and an ill-advised situationship. Peach Street to Lobster Lane charts Cloake's coast-to-coast ride through US cuisine – from sauerkraut balls to Tex-Mex gyoza – during an unforgettable election year.
