Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. We're looking back at some of our favorite books of the year in our 12 books of Christmas. Today's episode is with journalist and restaurant critic Grace Dent. Dent joined us, alongside comedian and host of the Guilty Feminist podcast, Deborah Frances White, to discuss food, memory and nostalgia.

Themes from her latest book, Comfort Eating, What We Eat When Nobody's Looking. Let's go to the episode now. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for coming tonight. Grace Stent is intelligence and I am meant to be squaring that.
