Jack Monroe, campaigner & author of Cooking on a Bootstratp; Laura Winningham, co-founder of City Harvest London and Paula Merrony, head of operations at City Harvest London in conversation with Donna Freed at the Cookbook Festival 2018
The Cookbook Festival brought together food poverty campaigner and cookery writer Jack Monroe with City Harvest London to create a delicious brunch with food that would be wasted without City Harvest's efforts.
City Harvest collects food from supermarkets and restaurants and delivers it to the charities and organisations that feed the hungry. They are witnessing an ever growing need. Both Jack and Paula share their experiences of food poverty and in Paula's case, homelessness.

September 21, 2018 Lynda La Plante, Widows with Donna Freed GORGEOUS READS
Lynda La Plante's Widows with Donna Freed
Lynda La Plante is the indisputable, reigning QUEEN OF CRIME. Widows was Lynda's first TV Script and while she was a TV actress at the time, she knew that she was not Dolly Rawlins. She never returned to acting and instead went on to create our most iconic police woman, Prime Suspect's Jane Tennison played by Helen Mirren. La Plante has reworked and expanded Widows in novel form for a brand new audience. Well, hello Dolly!

September 14, 2018 What your handwriting says about you, Reading Between The Lines by Emma Bache
Do you have big or small writing? Or large loops or big spaces between your letters? We do still write, not as much as we used to; birthday cards, thank you letters and shopping lists.

September 05, 2018 What Would Boudicca Do? E. Foley and B. Coates with Donna Freed
What Would Boudicca Do? E. Foley and B. Coates with Donna Freed
While we don't expect or want you to burn London to the ground every time someone pisses you off, but bad-ass Boudicca's method of dealing with adversity does have a certain appeal. The authors were inspired to find (only) 50 fantastic women throughout history and use them as exemplars for 'everyday problems solved by history's most remarkable women.' The delightful book is designed to tease rather than preach and gives snippets of these amazing women's achievements, some good, some bad, some ugly but all bad-ass and remarkable.
The graphic illustrations are by Bijou Karman. There are some of the usual suspects: Frida Kahlo, Mary Wollstencraft, Rosa Parks but then there are the renegades you never knew: Grace Hopper, Enheduanna, Akiko Yosano….

Lucy Cufflin, co-founder of the Cookbook Festival with Donna Freed
Lucy Cufflin has never been put off by being the first, especially when it comes to food. Her mother was the first foodie she knew and she has been working in food since she was a teen. She is a cookbook author herself, and knows the power of a proper recipe. It was of supreme importance to her, when the idea of the first festival to celebrate both food and books (cookbooks) was that it was in aid of charity.

“It’s fantastic to have a radio show for women BY women. Not that Radio Gorgeous is worthy or box-ticking. It’s funny, frantic, smart; often profound and just occasionally filthy.” Liz Hoggard – Journalist It was such fun” Lynn Barber – Celebrity Journalist

“Pirate Radio for Vogue Readers” Journalist and writer Zoe Williams

“Radio Gorgeous is a brilliant, necessary and exciting enterprise which puts women’s work, ideas, voices, creativity and wit front and centre. Radio Gorgeous is storming a media landscape in which women are under-represented as speakers, experts, stars and executives, producing brilliantly researched content which never fails to inspire and excite. From politics to the arts, the everyday to the global, Radio Gorgeous is quicker, smarter and sharper than anything else out there right now.” Bidisha Critic, Writer & Broadcaster

“Josephine is such a positive person! She is really willing you on to express yourself. She has really brilliant questions and is obviously really interested! ” Gillian McCallum CEO of Drawing Down The Moon

“Once you listen, you’ll be addicted and won’t be able to wait for your weekly fix. Hearing talented women talking in depth about their involvement in books, art, music, theatre as well as all manner of health and lifestyle issues is both fascinating and up-lifting. Affirmative, real and full of humour, listening to radio Gorgeous really will make you feel gorgeous.” Jo Rees, Author

This week I was interviewed on Radio Gorgeous, the UK’s longest running women led podcast. My early career was as a radio and TV reporter and out of all the interviews I’ve done, this one was my favourite (except I was the one answering the questions, instead of asking them). Please give Josephine Pembroke a TV Show! She is clever, funny, naughty and kind. It made for an insightful interview as we talked about orgasm, self-discovery, movement as medicine and more.” Betsy Blankenbaker Autobiography of an Orgasm

“Radio Gorgeous does the best author interviews on the planet!” Gina Rozner, West London

“Being Interviewed by Radio Gorgeous is a fabulous experience…I loved every minute. Not only because the gorgeous Josephine herself has actually read the book so the conversation just flows. But what a great idea it is to preserve women’s voices in the 21st century. This is what we thought in 2012 and this is how we said it. What will my grandchildren think?” Anne Sebba – Author

“Radio Gorgeous is such a clever idea and done so well. -Josephine is a dream interviewer” Lindsey Bareham, Food Writer and Cook
