Talks

Food and teaching in the 1970s.

Would you like a talk on stories from my books?

Dame Prue Leith said

‘An accurate, and sometimes very funny, account of the trials of a young food teacher in the 70’s.’

The books are about teaching cooking to teenagers in London in the 1970s. I’m a bit of living history – involved in teaching food for 50+ years.
Do you remember Angel Delight, Bird’s Custard, Spam, Bisto, Stork margarine – what’s their story?
London in the 1970s – the 3 day week, blackouts, bedsit life?

Who’s the talk for?

Anyone interested in food history, London life in the 1970s, fashions and food trends. And with a sense of humour.
