In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I speak to Claire Powell, author of the brilliant 2022 debut novel At the Table. Centred around the Maguire family over a series of meals, At the Table follows Nicole and Jamie as they find out their parents are separating and their lives begin to unravel. In the episode, we talk about the politics of family meals, eating during fertility treatment and the joys of a long, boozy lunch (though not at the same time).

About the host: Laura Price is a multilingual journalist who travels the world writing about restaurants. A proud Yorkshire lass at heart, she spent several years in Latin America before settling in London with her two cats. Her first novel, Single Bald Female, was inspired by her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 29. A novelist by day and a food writer by night, Laura combines her two passions into this podcast, bringing out powerful stories of survival and healing in a language that everyone understands – food.
