Meet the author- Virginia Trioli

Experience ANU

Virginia Trioli was in conversation with Allan Behm discussing her new book A Bit on the Side: Reflections on What Makes Life Delicious. Virginia Trioli knows that enduring joy is often found not in the big moments but in the small. And as a dedicated, almost obsessive, foodie, she believes that food gives us the perfect metaphor for how to devour the real flavour of life. When the main course is unappetising, the 'bits on the side' make life really delicious. The sweet and the sour; the salty, the bitter - our small, meaningful selections are the ones that make life glorious.
