ive or take the swarms of tourists, August might just be the most relaxed month of the year in Cambridge. With the students gone until autumn and plenty of long, balmy evenings for relaxing by the river, now’s the time to kick back and enjoy the city in summer holiday mode. Make the most of these peaceful days by curling up in a favourite spot with a great book: we’ve got a cracker for you in this month’s Edition Book Club. A rare non-fiction pick for us, this month we’re shining a spotlight on local author Bee Wilson and
her fascinating book The Way We Eat Now . A look at global food trends, obsessions and oddities which covers a staggering amount of ground, we get the low-down from Bee herself over on page 25. More of the city’s food writers (we do seem to have an unusually large volume here in Cambridge) chat to Dr Sue Bailey in Cambridge on a Plate over on page 64. As delightfully freewheeling as ever, this month’s column sees Sue talk Trinity burnt cream – or should that be crème brûlée? – via Victorian desserts, Edwardian virility potions and the joys of being a food historian. Also in the food section, we pay homage to one of Cambridge’s oldest and finest independents: The Gog. A century’s worth of history has seen this family business evolve from a roadside honesty box to a thriving farm shop, cafe and deli, which every foodie in the city raves about. Read its story on page 54. Our arts columnist Ruthie has been on the trail of Yoko Ono this month, in honour of the city-wide celebration of her work which continues through August. You’d be forgiven for knowing her best for her marriage to John Lennon, but Yoko Ono: Looking For... is a fantastic chance to learn more about this esteemed conceptual artist’s considerable influence on the art world, as well as her special connection to Cambridge. Find out more on page 22. There are a few treats to look out for on the local festival circuit, too, as detailed in our After Hours section (page 33). I’m especially looking forward to We Out Here, which makes its debut at the old Secret Garden Party site this month. As a diehard SGP fan, I can’t wait to return to this beautiful spot and see what the organisers have dreamed up. It’s a tough act to follow, but I’m confident we’re in the safest of hands with curator Gilles Peterson.
