A wee reminder there of The Mogford Food & Drink Short Story Prize deadline. It so happens that I was staying in one of Jeremy Mogford's hotels over the weekend, and the prize stories from previous years were all arranged by the bed and displayed in a prominent position in the hotel's library.
A quick word on this year's judges. As you'll see from the above they include Rick Stein, who is not only a very well known chef and food writer but is shortly to open his own bookshop in Padstow, and Lawrence Norfolk, author of (among others) this wonderful, wonderful book.
