cooking, reading and writing from a salmon pink kitchen

cooking, reading and writing from

We are Irene and Margaux, Londoners by choice, Italian and French by birth. We once lived together in a kitchen with salmon pink walls, where we started a book club on Sunday afternoons and welcomed our guests to a feast based on the book of the month. As the pandemic put a halt to our in-person Sundays, we turned the Salmon Pink Kitchen into the virtual space it is today, in the form of a website, Instagram account, monthly newsletters and podcasts and virtual bookclubs.

The Salmon Pink Kitchen is a book-club and culinary community that reclaims the kitchen as a political space for women. In the SPK, we celebrate all things tasty and geeky so minds and bodies are fed equally.

Bienvenue to our virtual salmon pink kitchen, where you’re all a casa!

🎂The Salmon Pink Kitchen Book Club has turned 3 years old! 22 books later, we reunited in the kitchen to celebrate launching the SPK and to cheer for everything there is to come this year.

A SPK birthday dinner: we started in style with prawn cocktails, served with a paprika aïoli; fuelled with penne with courgettes, mint and basil; and polished our plates off with a lemon and pistachio ice-cream.   Thank you for following us and for making the Salmon Pink Kitchen one meal after the other with us. Happy birthday! 🎈❤️

In the Shinjuku neighbourhood of Tokyo you’ll find a small diner open daily, from midnight to 7am. There’s only one dish on the menu, but the diners know the chef will cook anything they ask for, as long as he has the ingredients.
That’s the premise of Yaro Abe’s exquisite manga, Midnight Diner, which was also adapted into an anthology series by Netflix.

Midnight Diner is a tender exploration of humanity, of the traumas we carry, the things we have forgotten, the twists and turns that wait for us along the way, all told through the lens of food.
With a cast of recurring diners and new characters, each issue is divided into short chapters, each focusing on a dish, a condiment, a habit of one of the diners, linking back to all aspects of life. Food becomes the glue between past and present, family ties, the beginning of love stories, the end of a marriage, as the owner partakes in this theatre of life behind the counter.

As we wait to read more volumes, we can’t help but wonder: what would our food order be? Let us know what your order would be in the comments! ✨

We read the Italian editions of Midnight Diner, published by @baopublishing.
