In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I talk about Food and Death with Dr Kathryn Mannix, a former palliative care consultant and bestselling author of two books: With the End in Mind, and Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations. In the episode, we talk about the link between food and death – what happens to our appetites as we die, how to celebrate a loved one through food, and what on earth is a Death Café.

About Dr Kathryn Mannix: Dr Kathryn Mannix is a former palliative care consultant who now writes books and speaks publicly to help people gain a better understanding of what happens when we die. She is the author of With the End in Mind, a series of stories from her years in palliative care, which aims to help people not feel quite so scared about death and dying, and Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations, a guidebook for communicating with others.
About the host: Laura Price is a multilingual journalist who travels the world writing about restaurants. A proud Yorkshire lass at heart, she spent several years in Latin America before settling in London with her two cats. Her first novel, Single Bald Female, was inspired by her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 29. A novelist by day and a food writer by night, Laura combines her two passions into this podcast, bringing out powerful stories of survival and healing in a language that everyone understands – food.
