About

Prue Leith has never been one to hold back. At 85, she’s not about to start.

The Great British Bake Off presenter, Great British Menu judge, restaurateur, cookery school founder and national treasure joins us for a chat about her Sunday Times bestselling memoir Being Old and Learning to Love It, a frank, funny and thoroughly entertaining reckoning with life in her eighties. From love and loss to assisted dying, fashion, fame and finding joy, nothing is off limits.

Warm, wise and wickedly honest, this is an afternoon in the company of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life and isn’t finished yet.
