Scottish Crime Fiction: Reading with Frank Winter

Angus MacDonald is a food journalist and whisky connoisseur from Edinburgh, who loves cooking Scottish dishes. Whenever a crime against authentic food and drink takes place, he turns into a fearless fighter for justice. Support comes from his friend and co-detective Alberto Vitiello, a street-savvy Italian guest house owner.

Frank Winter, author of comedic crime novels with a culinary twist, will read excerpts from his work and explain how he creates new novels with different characters - and recipes!

Frank Winter lives in Frankfurt/Main, where he studied German literature, sociology, and philosophy. The trained journalist regularly contributes to the two German whisky magazines “Highland Herold” and “Whisky-Botschafter”, as well as to other magazines and newspapers. So far he has published 13 books: 9 novels and 4 non-fiction books. In spring 2014 his book on Scottish cuisine “Schottisch kochen” with 172 recipes and an extended part on the history of food and drink in Scotland was published. Winter won a silver medal by the Gastronomical Academy Germany (GAD), the most important German cookbook prize for it.
