Sheila Dillon and Alex Renton: The Food Programme: 13 Foods That Shape Our World

This week, is all about The Food Programme, the Radio 4’s mighty
series which has been examining our food, its culture and its
politics for 43 years, and its first BBC book by Alex Renton
taking us through 13 Foods that Shape our World.


Sheila Dillon, presenter of The Food Programme for much of that
time has written the foreword. Gilly first met her back in 2017
for the delicious. podcast when the Food Programme was under
threat from Radio 4. A mass outpouring of love for the show, new
presenters, and now, a book, are just some of the results of that
enforced rethink.  


Before Gilly chats to Alex about his four food moments from the
book, Sheila reveals her own existential pondering, and a
surprising fragility considering her role as doyenne of food in
Britain.
