What an absolute treat it is to have author and high-profile social commentator Jane Caro as our special guest on the Food Bytes podcast this week.

With her latest book Lyrebird getting rave reviews, Jane chats about the fascinating story behind it and the realities of life as a writer.

We also explore the societal pressures on women over the age of fifty – especially those in media – and Jane’s dream dinner party guest list is one of the most outstanding yet.

Oh, and our Food Poll gets slightly shrivelled this week as we pit dried apricots against prunes.
