Jane Grigson with Sophie Grigson

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 with a three-part special. This is part two.In this very special episode, I am talking with award-winning food writer, broadcaster, and teacher Sophie Grigson, Jane’s daughter, not just about English Food but Jane as a writer, cook, person—and mum and role model, of course. We talk about what inspired Jane to write three editions of English food, why I chose Jane's book to cook from, Singin’ Hinnies, Sussex pond pudding, Jane’s dislike of rhubarb, and many other things.Sophie’s websiteSophie’s Waterstones pageFollow Sophie on Twitter @trullidelicious; Instagram @trulli_delicious; or Threads @sophie_grigson_herselfSupport 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:The Jane Grigson Collection at Oxford Brookes UniversityThe Jane Grigson TrustBooks and other things mentioned in today’s episode:English Food by Jane Grigson Jane Grigson’s Fruit BookJane Grigson’s Vegetable BookSussex Pond Pudding article by Felicity CloakePrevious episodes pertinent to today’s episode:50 Years of English Food by Jane GrigsonPrevious blog posts pertinent to today’s episode:Read Neil Cooks Grigson hereMy first attempt at Singin’ Hinnies (it didn’t go well.
