Valentine’s latest book is The Consolation of Food (2019), a collection of stories about life and death, seasoned with recipes.

The book’s 75 dishes are organised chronologically and each recognises the positive energy that foraging for food or fishing for ingredients can create. Valentine also considers how cooking itself can soothe the soul and lift our spirits, so necessary in times of grief and sadness.
