Tonight, we'll read the chapter “On Soup” from The Feasts of Autolycus by Elizabeth Robins Pennell, in which Pennell draws from her experiences as a food critic and essayist to explore the role of soup in culinary culture. Snoozecast first read this back in 2020.  An American writer who lived much of her life in Europe, Pennell was known for her travel writing and gastronomic studies, often blending personal observations with cultural critique. Her perspective reflects a deep familiarity with both English and French cuisines, informed by her broader interest in art and domestic life.
