About

Join us for a deliciously gothic event with Dr Alessandra Pino, co-author of A Gothic Cookbook. Alessandra’s book digs into food themes and motifs in a series of classic and contemporary novels from the 19th century to the present day. We will be looking into how gothic food manifests into the Brontës novels, what it might mean and how some of the adaptations portray food.

Alessandra is an expert on the intersections of the Gothic, food, and cultural memory. She worked with a Michelin-starred chef for nearly ten years before moving to academia, researching and publishing on food, cultural memory, the supernatural and the Gothic.
