Food of Love

Freelance writer, author and speaker, Sylvia Vetta took up writing and broadcasting on art and antiques in 1998, when she began writing features for the award-winning magazine The Oxford Times. She went on to write for numerous magazines on art, history and science-related events. Her long-running profile series, Oxford Castaways, has been compiled into two books. Sylvia has published two novels, Brushstrokes in Time, a fictionalised memoir of a member of the Stars art movement in China and Sculpting the Elephant, an interracial romance set between Oxford and India.

"A joy to read -- warm and familial, full of lovely sketches and archival photographs. It is a unique journey -- deftly articulated -- weaving the personal and the public, providing a socio-cultural landscape that is still relevant. There is much to learn from here -- digest, eat and imbibe these words with love." -- Sudeep Sen, author of EroText and editor of The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry
