Grace Dent

O tym odcinku

<p>This is a conversation about class, identity, ambition and grief. It's Grace Dent stripped back. Grace is a broadcaster, columnist, author, award winning food critic and now host of the brilliant podcast Comfort Eating. But she is also just a woman from humble working-class beginnings who grew up in Carlisle in the north of England and grafted and adapted to get to where she is today. Despite now living a glittering media life in London, appearing on MasterChef, dining in some of the best restaurants in the world and critiquing the food of Michelin star chefs, Grace has never forgotten where she is from or shied away from who she is - her accent, relationship to money, her perspective, all of which is covered here. She also lost her mum last year and dealt with her Dad having dementia before he died, experiences that changed her and which she doesn’t shy away from.&nbsp;</p><br><p>In her own words, “why on earth did I choose those subjects, they’re so intimate and confessional”. But that is why this conversation is so illuminating, from Carlisle to London to facing mortality, it’s real, relatable and heartfelt.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Grace's memoir&nbsp;<em>Hungry: A memoir of wanting more&nbsp;</em>can be bought here:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hungry-Highly-Anticipated-Greatest-Writers/dp/0008333173" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hungry-Highly-Anticipated-Greatest-Writers/dp/0008333173</a></p><br><p>You can also currently watch Grace hosting a new show with Ainsley Harriott called Best of British By The Sea for Channel 4</p><p><a href="https://www.channel4.com/programmes/best-of-britain-by-the-sea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.channel4.com/programmes/best-of-britain-by-the-sea</a></p><br><p>Changes is now a deaf friendly podcast please spread the word.
