Claudia Roden was born in Cairo. She came to London to study art and stayed on when her family had to leave Egypt after the Suez crisis in 1956. Drawn to the subject of food through a desire to evoke a lost heritage, she continued to write cookbooks with a special interest in the social, cultural, and historical background of food. She has written about the cooking of the Middle East, North Africa, the Mediterranean, Italy, and Spain, and about Jewish food. In 2022 she was awarded a CBE for her services to culinary culture. In 2023 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of London.
Subha Mukherji is Professor of Early Modern Literature and Culture at the University of Cambridge. Her research interests and publications range across Renaissance English literature, early modern law and drama, form and faith, literary epistemologies, migration, and contemporary Indian art.
