About the event
Reading: Food and Life
Join Daily Maverick Food Editor, cookbook author and playwright Tony Jackman for a candid conversation about an unconventional life and the food woven through it.
From his childhood in Oranjemund and growing up with an alcoholic father to the unlikely journey of a habitual truant into newspapers, Tony shares his story with honesty and humour.
Along the way, savour memories of Karoo cooking, traditional kos and the much-loved dishes of old country hotels. Bring your questions and settle in for a good old chinwag about food, life and everything in between.
