Jilly Cooper's Rivals

Succession for posh people? Today we're talking about Jilly Cooper's Rivals and the Shepherd's Pies, cabbage soup, Buck's Fizz and Dover sole that fuel this beloved bonkbuster.

For a little light relief in a heavy time, in this episode, we are talking about Jilly Cooper’s Rivals and the many Shepherd’s pies, Dover soles, and bottles of Sancerre that keep its glamourous (enormous) cast of characters fuelled for all that romping around in stables and meadows.

Links and recipes from this chat will be sent to our wonderful subscribers shortly.

Happy listening!

Discussion about this podcast

Something to Eat and Something to Read
Something to Eat and Something to Read
Something to Eat and Something is a podcast about cooking and reading, and reading about cooking. Hosted by food writer Sophie Hansen and Bibliotherapist/Psychotherapist Germaine Leece; we believe that you should never go anywhere, or for too long, without something to eat and something to read.
So every episode we’re going to dive into a book we’ve both read and talk about the ’shape’ it left on both of us. And because this is a podcast about reading about cooking; these books will all have a strong connection with food (of course). Part two will be the listener letter which we’ll select then read out loud. Germaine will prescribe a book and I’ll recommend a recipe.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy putting it together for you, Sophie and Germaine x
