Jane Grigson with Sophie Grigson
The book English Food by Jane Grigson was published 50 years ago this year. It’s a book that has completely changed my life and I wanted to celebrate it with a three-part special. This is part two. In this very special episode, I am talking with award-winning food writer, broadcaster, and teacher Sophie Grigson, Jane’s daughter, not just about English Food but Jane as a writer, cook, person—and mum and role model, of course. We talk about what inspired Jane to write three editions of English food, why I chose Jane's book to cook from, Singin’ Hinnies, Sussex pond pudding, Jane’s dislike of rhubarb, and many other things.
