Delicacy
Katy Wix · 2021 · 288 pages
Writer and actor Katy Wix writes of twenty-one moments that have defined her life, each one beginning with a memory of cake. The sickly royal icing marked the moment Katy found her voice. The madeira cake was the sun her group therapy sessions orbited. The 'missing cake' from a lost holiday has never let go. The supermarket rock cake was where she 'practised wanting'. Delicacy is about grief, addiction, love, loss, memory and hope.

“Book recommendation - I've just read @WixKaty's "Delicacy", which I believe has been criminally over-looked. It's a memoir about food - too much, not enough - & illness, & grief, & rammed with lines I read over & over. A book whose company you really enjoy, & a new hero to love”↗
