On Cooking by Jeremy Lee

This week, Gilly's talking food and class in Jeremy Lee’s book
Cooking with 17-year-old food campaigner at the Food Foundation,
chair of Bite Back 2030, and Youth Member of parliament for
Winchester, Dev Sharma. 


Jeremy Lee is one of the handful of chefs who’s cooked his way
into the history books of modern food culture. His journey has
taken him through the kitchens of some of the most influential
London restaurants of our time: Conran’s Blueprint Cafe,
Alistair Little’s Frith Street to the legendary Quo Vadis. 


Here, Gilly finds out what that all means to a teenager from
Leicester who’s already a food legend himself. 


Dev’s campaigning work to end child food poverty has won praise
from Jamie Oliver who says his work is ‘truly incredible’; Emma
Thompson called him absolutely extraordinary as she watched him
address ministers about food poverty. Jeremy Vine says he’s Prime
Minister material. It’s won him a scholarship to Winchester
College and a dream of Cambridge university, where food has a
very different meaning.


Gilly asks him to choose four moments from Jeremy’s Lee’s book to
help us understand the role of food in Britain in 2023
