A life through food

I am urging anyone who hasn’t read Nigel Slater biography yet to read it. He talks about his strange and quirky upbringing trough the prism of food. A laugh out loud treat for the the tummy.

BOSNIAN COOK

I am visiting Sam in Sarajevo next week and will hopefully meet the author of this book Lamija Hadziosmanovic. She shows the tasty recipes. I am hoping to do a project in 2012 there to commemorate the siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare.

Everyone should attend at least the aerobanquet, a kind of food sculptural orgy and listen to nutritious noises…
