Sudi Pigott: Consider the Anchovy

Sudi Pigott: Consider the Anchovy18 Jun28 min

This week, we're with travel and food writer, Sudi Pigott to Consider the Anchovy.

Part memoir, largely a travelogue, this is a deep dive into the story of a big hitting little fish. Stuffed with maverick, rakish characters, it's a passionate manifesto making the case for the anchovy as a leading mover and shaker in world culinary history.

Rachel Roddy described it as "an anchovy odyssey, a journey in search of a small fish of enormous importance — fascinating, unexpected and utterly enticing."

Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Sudi and a recipe from the book.
