Food For Thought - Elevenses With Nigella Lawson

Logo for Food For Thought - Elevenses With Nigella Lawson

Journalist Nina Myskow discovers how attitudes to food, shape and affect individual lives. At home in her kitchen, cookery writer Nigella Lawson recalls her early experiences of food, as a chamber maid in Italy, whisking white sauces for her mother and making veal stew and rabbit with prunes on a teenage visit to France. She tells Nina Myskow how they transformed her from a quiet, introverted child who resisted her mother's appeals to eat at mealtimes into a passionate cook with a lust for food and an incredibly healthy appetite. The producer is Tamsin Hughes, and this is a Wise Buddah production for BBC Radio 4.
