Upwards

Karen Dudley

In Upwards, Karen Dudley invites us on a culinary journey that transcends the ordinary, encouraging us to look up to what is true and essential - living simply and well.

In this follow-up to Onwards, Karen, with her signature warmth and insight, shares how the act of cooking can - and should be - a letting go of life's daily preoccupations, a way to connect with ourselves and others, by paying attention to the pleasure and enjoyment of cooking something beautiful, delicious and even surprising.

Sharing recipes from a vibrant palette of flavours, Upwards lifts Karen's loyal community towards the next level - to learn new skills, to look up to quality over quantity and to pay attention to the splendour that can come from the meditative act of cooking. Upwards is thus a call to be inspired, to create and to connect, all the time looking up, up, up, as we invite into our kitchens new dishes, new flavours and new possibilities.
