French Cooking for Two by Michèle Roberts – Book Launch at Veranda Books

About

On Thursday, 30th October 2025, Veranda Books welcomes acclaimed novelist and memoirist Michèle Roberts for the launch of her latest work, French Cooking for Two: Seasons of Friendship. Following the success of her 2024 hit French Cooking for One, Roberts now invites readers to share the joy of French cuisine with friends, celebrating the art of companionship through food.

In this witty and evocative follow-up, Roberts explores how cooking for others becomes an act of affection, generosity, and creativity. Blending recipes drawn from both historical sources and her own life in France, she transforms simple ingredients into stories of friendship, love, and memory. Each dish evokes the warmth of shared tables and the changing seasons, all delivered with her trademark literary flair and gentle humour.

Guests are invited to join Michèle Roberts for an evening of wine, conversation and nibbles, in partnership with her publisher Les Fugitives. Whether you’re a long-time admirer of Roberts’ writing or simply a lover of good food and good company, this promises to be a delightful evening in the heart of Marylebone.
