Felicity Cloake is the award-winning author of the Guardian’s long-running How to Make the Perfect column as well as eight books, including three foodie travelogues, the latest of which, Peach Street to Lobster Lane (Mudlark) sees her cycling across the United States in search of true American cuisine beyond the fast food stereotypes, and getting caught up with snakes, twisters and political hot potatoes en route. Her first novel, The Underdog, will be published by Fourth Estate in May 2026.
