  • Digesting the Internet with Ruby Tandoh
    On this month's Lecker Book Club – a regular interview series with authors writing in or adjacent to food culture – All Consuming by Ruby Tandoh. Ruby’s new book, All Consuming, is really a natural progression in her work: taking the unique position she occupies as both a professional cook and baker but also something of a commentator and observer in order to deeply and thoroughly investigate the culinary landscape we find ourselves in. From Dubai chocolate to Nara Smith, there's no-one else I would rather read on decoding and digesting contemporary food culture. Lecker is now part of Heritage Radio Network!

  • S9 Ep4: Flat Pack (Kitchens Revisited)
    ​​This month Lecker is re-releasing some older episodes: here’s Kitchens, a six part series from 2021 about the most important room in the home. Prefabs – built to help counter the post war housing shortage - were actually some of the earliest examples of fitted kitchens in the UK, and came with built-in fridges at a time when this technology was unaffordable to most people. Jennie Thomas reflects on growing up in a post war prefab in Hackney, and Alice Wilson, whose academic work examines tiny houses, reflects on the movement as a reaction to the housing situation in contemporary Britain. Lecker is written and produced by Lucy Dearlove. Thanks to the contributors on this episode, Jennie Thomas and Alice Wilson. Find out more about the OpHouse project.

Plus Sean Warmington-Wan reflects on the unsociable kitchen in his shared London house. Lecker is written and produced by Lucy Dearlove.
