Expectation meets Julie and Julia, The Yellow Kitchen is a
brilliant exploration of food, belonging and friendship. London,
2019. A yellow kitchen stands as a metaphor for the lifelong
friendship between three women: Claude, the baker, goal-orientated
Sophie and political Giulia. They chase love and careers; dreaming
and consuming in the city, but always returning to the yellow
kitchen to share a meal. That is, until a trip to Lisbon unravels
unexplored desires between Claude and Sophie. Having sex is one
thing, waking up the day after is the beginning of something new.
Exploring the complexities of female friendship, The Yellow Kitchen
is a hymn to the last year of London as we knew it and a
celebration of the culture, the food and the rhythms we live by.
Praise for The Yellow Kitchen: 'Rich and thoroughly intoxicating,
The Yellow Kitchen is a sensual journey into friendship, food and
female sexuality, full of complex, fascinating characters and bold
ideas. I loved it' Rosie Walsh 'A heady mix of politics,
friendship, sex and food, poignant, provocative and utterly
distinctive' Paula Hawkins 'An exquisite novel - beautifully
rendered, powerfully told, and so deeply felt. I urge you to read
this novel - you will never forget it' Lucia Osborne-Crowley
'Mixing female friendship, romance, loss, redemption, and memorable
meals, The Yellow Kitchen is the perfect recipe for a flavorful
literary feast. With subtle dashes of wit and generous sprinklings
of honesty, Margaux Vialleron has crafted a brave and tender tale'
Kim Fay, author of Love & Saffron 'The Yellow Kitchen is so
warm and convivial in atmosphere, and its discussion of the
politics of the UK and their impact very poignant. It portrayed
beautifully the sense of adventure of being a certain age, with its
rush and richness and emotional confusion, and I found it such a
satisfying read' Emily Itami, author of Fault Lines
