Bio: Dr Alessandra Pino is an expert on intersections of the Gothic, food, and cultural memory. Alessandra was born in Hampstead, London, to an Italian mother and Venezuelan diplomat father, and she grew up in several different countries. She holds a BA in English Literature from Naples ‘L’Orientale’; an MA in Translation Studies and a PhD in Food, Cultural Memory and the Gothic, from the University of Westminster. She worked with a Michelin-starred chef for nearly ten years before entering the world of dark academia. Alessandra is co-author of A Gothic Cookbook, which digs into food themes and motifs in a series of classic and contemporary novels from the 19th century to the present day and the co-host of Fear Feasts, a podcast which analyses the horror genre- films and books- through the lens of food. https://unbound.com/books/a-gothic-cookbook/https://www.instagram.com/fearfeasts/?hl=enwww.anchor.fm/fearfeastspodcastWe have a Fear Feasts FaceBook page (this is where we publish our recipes for each episode too): https://www.facebook.com/fearfeastspodcasthttps://linktr.ee/aisforapplepod (With Neil Buttery and Sam Bilton) If you follow my podcast and enjoy it, I’m on @buymeacoffee.
