The Art of Small Joys: Virginia Trioli in Conversation
Best known as a Walkley Award-winning journalist and broadcaster, Virginia Trioli is also a dedicated–almost obsessive–foodie. She tells anyone who listens that food gives us the perfect metaphor for how to seek, recognise, and devour the real flavour of life. Virginia speaks with Naima Brown about her new book, A Bit on the Side, which is an ode to joy, wisdom, and memory.
