Kevin Geddes: Keep Calm and Fanny On

This week, Gilly's with a man after her own heart. There are very
few people who write about TV chefs and their place in British
food culture, but Kevin Geddes, author of Keep Calm and Fanny On
and Gilly, who wrote Taste and the TV Chef (2020) are two of
them.


Channel 5 is showing an hour long documentary on December 28th
called the 70s Dinner Party in which Gilly joins Dr Annie Gray to
talk about the social history of the TV chef. She and Kevin
celebrate by diving deeply into the '70s food world through the
prism of Fanny Cradock, and find much more than green mashed
potato and mince meat omelette.


Head to Gilly's Substack for some Extra Bites on the Channel 5
show.
