The beautiful dining room of The Feathers hotel will be the setting for a dinner in honour of Nobel Prize winning Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk.

The menu, devised and overseen by the legendary cookery writer Claudia Roden, will bring together dishes from Turkey, North Africa and the Mediterranean.

Roden was born and brought up in Cairo. Her bestselling A Book of Middle Eastern Food revolutionised attitudes to the cuisine of the Middle East when it was published in 1968. Her work has always been characterised by a particular interest in the social and historical background to the food she is writing about and has received great critical acclaim. Other works include Mediterranean Cookery with Claudia Roden and The Food of Spain. Roden is winner of many awards, including six Glenfiddich awards, two Andre Simon awards, four World Gourmand awards, the James Beard Best Cookbook of the Year award in the USA, and the National Jewish Book Award in the USA.
