An 'accidental' chef traces her unlikely journey into the culinary world in new memoir

Geoff Bennett | May 7, 2026

Food can be about comfort, craft or culture, but in Brigid Washington's new memoir, it's about survival. Her book traces her unlikely journey into the culinary world, one marked by loss, uncertainty and questions of identity. Geoff Bennett speaks with Washington about "Salt, Sweat & Steam" for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
