Virginia Trioli will be in conversation with Allan Behm discussing her new book A Bit on the Side: Reflections on What Makes Life Delicious.This is a free event but bookings are essential
This event is in association with the Harry Hartog Bookshop and The Street Theatre.
Virginia Trioli knows that enduring joy is often found not in the big moments but in the small. And as a dedicated, almost obsessive, foodie, she believes that food gives us the perfect metaphor for how to devour the real flavour of life. When the main course is unappetising, the 'bits on the side' make life really delicious. The sweet and the sour; the salty, the bitter - our small, meaningful selections are the ones that make life glorious.
A Bit on the Side is an ode to joy, filled with wisdom, stories, memories and recipes, all told with Virginia's renowned insight and wicked sense of humour. This is a book to be read, treasured and shared with anyone who wants life served with a side of delight.
'Utterly delightful. Trioli's passion for life - and food, glorious food - crackles through every joyous page. A book so rare and so bloody well done.' Trent Dalton
'A warmly engaging epicurean masterclass on the pleasures of companionship and the table.' Christoph Tsiolkas
