A Taste of My Life

Liz Smith's friend Paul O'Grady challenges Nigel Slater to make Liz a traditional trifle. Ricky Tomlinson rustles up a ploughmans lunch and Liz's daughter celebrates her mum's success as a single parent making a chocolate cake. Liz chats about lost love in the WRENS, the joys of finding success late in life, the loss of her mum at 2 and the abandonment of her dad at 7. She shares in her wish for a companion in life, but how not having one has probably spurred her on.
