Linda Dangoor

Linda Dangoor, author of Flavours of Babylon, is an artist and food writer. She describes her memories of sipping water from earthenware jars as a child and how that experience has led to her making her own pots and bowls. She describes her first encounter with the clay as ‘a revelation. A love at first touch.’

This, in turn, has led to a cookbook inspired by her upbringing in Baghdad and her travels across the world. She paints a picture of her childhood via the scent of orange blossom and the taste of rosewater and describes food as 'more than just nourishment and recipes, it is also a language and an identity.’
