The Food Programme: Food Books

Sheila Dillon and her studio guests dip in to some of this year’s food books, providing some mouth-watering ideas for Christmas presents, or, perhaps, for ones to avoid!

Sheila Dillon is joined in the studio by Tom Jaine, former cook, editor of The Good Food Guide, baker and now publisher of Prospect Books; Jeanette Orrey, the dinner lady who inspired Jamie Oliver and also author of The Dinner Lady, and an advisor to the Soil Association, and Roland Bonney, co-founder and Director of the Food Animal Initiative (FAI), the objective of which is to develop sustainable farm systems that provide discernible benefits to animal welfare, the environment and human health.
