The literary evenings are structured around an author talk followed by a three course book-inspired set menu. The first dinner, on Wednesday 26 February, features Ian Kelly’s“Casanova: Actor Lover Priest Spy” (Sunday Times Biography of the Year); with a menu including such Venetian delights as Sgroppino, Oysters, and Escalope of Veal in Marsala -all accompanied by Hungarian wines.

London’s Guardian newspaper considers Brody Studios“Budapest’s epicenter of cool” whilst the Telegraph describes Rosie’s literary dinners as “delicious food, lashings of good wine, and a terrific atmosphere”. As an exciting new collaboration, Rosie’s Literary Dinners at Brody Studios promise a unique experience for readers and diners alike; bespoke menus and the company of fellow bibliophiles together with literary superstars.

'The two most interesting things in the world are sex and the 18th century..as Ian Kelly's delectable biography makes clear...[it] makes you proud to be human.' -The New Statesman

‘Enthralling...Casanova is stripped bare...a wonderful read...pulsing with testosterone, energy and a determination to strip Casanova’s story of historical and cultural assumptions and return to the man himself.’-Independent on Sunday
‘In author Ian Kelly, after two hundred years, Casanova has at last foundhis Boswell’-Telegraph

Casanova believed a woman's colouring dictated her food preferences and thus route to her heart (and favours). Broadly speaking, redheads enjoy fiery flavours, blondes enjoy creamy and pale foods, whilst brunettes are suited to earthy produce.
