Pen in one hand, piping bag in the other, and a pooch strapped to her bike rack —
Felicity Cloake is clearly a woman of many talents. For nearly two decades, her
Guardian recipes have kept readers hungry for more, always served with a generous
twist of pepper and a pinch of salt.
Now she’s turning her talents to fiction with The Underdog — her recipe for “How to
Make The Perfect… romcom novel”. Take one charming up-and-coming 30-
something chef, grate in a Cruella-esque food critic, stir in a handsome dog-loving
doctor, leave to simmer, then fold through a cast of mischievous housemates, and
garnish with a marzipan hound. Serve with a big mug of tea, and enjoy!
Rumour has it Felicity Cloake may be cycling all the way from London to Parisot for
her appearance at Festilitt. Meals on wheels.
