Hello and welcome to The Culture Club, my monthly recommendations round up for paying subscribers. For those of you who are new to my Substack, below you’ll find a collection of curated links to articles, books and cultural recommendations I’ve been enjoying. If you’d like to access it, simply upgrade your subscription below

Before I get into this month’s recommendations though, I wanted to share details of my UK book tour this July (fear not US readers, my American book tour is planned for September – more on that soon!). After not being able to tour my last book due to the pandemic, it feels great to be able to reconnect with my readers in person so I do hope you’ll join me at one of the events below. I’m particularly excited to be collaborating with the amazing Riverford Organic Farmers for a supper club at their beautiful Riverford Field Kitchen restaurant. See you there!

And don’t forget to pre-order the book if you can, it’s packed full of easy to make and flavoursome vegetarian recipes – just perfect for summer 🌿

And now onto this month's round up…
