This episode is all about the Victorian suffragist, folklorist and food writer, Florence Marian Mcneill. Born in Orkney in 1885, Florence would go on to be one of the most important figures of the 20th century, and you've never heard of her! Join us for a look at the first half of her life as we investigate the events and movements that shaped her commitment to equality and her love of Scotland. We are joined by the devastatingly fabulous Jeremy Lee MBE, chef proprietor at Quo Vadis, London and award-winning food writer, who tells us all about growing up in Dundee, his journey into food, creating the Quo Vadis menu and writing his first book; Cooking, Simply and well, for One or Many.
