Kelly bought me Paul Richardson’s “A Late Dinner: Discovering the food of Spain” last year and it quickly became one of my favourite books.
Paul’s obvious love of all things Spanish is clear in his emotive and evocative descriptions of the regional food and the strong bond between the people, the land, and their cusine. I defy anyone who reads this book to say that they don’t want to take off immediately and discover Spanish regional cooking for themselves!
BBC Radio 7 have serialised the book and it’s available on the BBC iplayer in short 15 minute programmes – in this first episode Paul Richardson explores and enjoys food in Ibiza. Surprising, I know, but highly recommended.

- Available until: 2:32pm Monday 8th February 2010

Nigella Lawson on Food for Thought - BBC iPlayer
There’s a short but interesting interview with Nigella Lawson on BBC’s iPlayer at the minute, in which Nigella talks about her early experiences of food – as a chamber maid in Italy, whisking white sauces for her mother and making veal stew and rabbit with prunes on a teenage visit to France.
She also touches upon her childhood, and the transition from being a reluctant eater to a passionate cook with a healthy appetite.
In the “Food For Thought” series Nina Myskow talks to various celebrities and discovers how attitudes to food affects their lives.
