A monthly celebration of the best food writing with Angela Hartnett, Mark Diacono & invited authors
Taking place on the final Sunday of every month at Cafe Murano Bermondsey, tickets will also include a bespoke two-course dinner inspired by the respective guest.
Hosted by food writer Mark Diacono, our Book Club evenings include an interview in which we hope to find out what brought our guest to this point in their career, what inspired their latest book, and more. There’s also a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, and to buy their latest book and have it signed and dedicated.
And of course, there will be the familiar Cafe Murano hospitality: a two-course meal, wine, cocktail and nibbles on arrival is all included in the price.

Sunday 26th July - Dawn O'Porter
A Sunday Times bestselling author, broadcaster and journalist, Dawn O’Porter is also the co-founder of Choose Love. She made it all the way to the finals of Celebrity MasterChef, where her love of food, instinct and personality really came through.
Known for her sharp, funny and refreshingly honest voice, she writes about life in a way that feels both deeply personal and completely relatable.
Her latest book, Hungry Eyes, brings all of that to the table. It’s a memoir shaped by the meals, moments and expectations that stay with us, looking at everything from identity and appetite to the quiet pressure of ‘bringing something’. It’s thoughtful, funny and full of feeling, with food at its heart as a way of connecting, sharing and making sense of it all.

Cafe Murano Book Club will provide guests with an opportunity to go behind the scenes of these writers’ minds, creative processes, and forthcoming publications. The entire experience – including a welcome cocktail, signature Cafe Murano nibbles and a two-course menu – will be influenced by the speakers’ themes.
