  • Summary

  • 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 – and there are four excellent guests in today’s slightly longer-than-usual episode: Sam Bilton, Ivan Day, Annie Gray and Jill Norman It is because of Jane and her book that I am doing what I’m doing today – she taught me how to cook, told me about England’s fine and rich food culture and how to reconnect with it.We talk about the unique way Jane’s book was published, Jane’s approach to research and writing, her attention to detail, her friendship with Elizabeth David, favourite recipes, and her frustrations regarding low-quality shepherd’s pie.Find out more about Sam Bilton and her work here.Find out more about Ivan Day and his work here.Find out more about Annie Gray and her work here.Find out more about Jill Norman and her work here.Support the podcast and blogs by becoming, if you can, a £3 monthly subscriber, and unlock lots of premium content, or treat me to a one-off virtual pint or coffee: click here.Things mentioned in today’s episode:Neil’s recent appearances on The Delicious Legacy, The Full English and Gastropod Neil’s recent Daily Express articleTo see Neil’s Country Life articles, please visit the website’s Media pageThe Jane Grigson TrustBooks mentioned in today’s episode:English Food by Jane Grigson Jane Grigson’s Fruit BookGood Things in England by Florence WhiteThe Taste of Britain by Laura Mason & Catherine BrownThe Scots Kitchen by F.
