Join Diana Henry, multi award-winning food writer, journalist, broadcaster and cook book author, on Friday 6th April at 12 noon for a lunchtime teacher-student reunion with her former teacher, Fiona Burrell, at the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School (ENTCS).

Fiona will talk to Diana about her career to date, her cook books and in particular her latest book 'How to Eat a Peach', which focuses on Diana's love of planning menus. 'How to Eat a Peach' will be published on April 5th, turning this event into an exclusive opportunity to meet the author and see the book hot off the press. The menus in the book reflect places Diana loves and dishes that are her real favourites.

The interview will be followed by a Q&A session, a tasting of some mouth-watering samples of Diana's recipes, and a book signing.

This exclusive event runs from 12 noon to 1pm.  Tickets are £10 which includes a £5 discount on a purchase on the day of Diana's book, normally retailing at £25. 

Places are limited and booking is essential: http://www.entcs.co.uk/meet-author-diana-henry-entcs
