Kitchen person

In 2009, Rachel Cooke started a monthly column for The Observer on cooking and eating: here are her fifty best. In 'Kitchen Person,' unfussy eater Rachel Cooke chronicles several food upheavals since then - new TV cooks, Brexit, viral recipes, the home delivery phenomenon, and the global pandemic. She journeys from her childhood in Sheffield with Henderson relish and Granny's lamb chops, to a job interviewing top chefs and eating in fancy restaurants, to learning to shop and cook well herself, all the time growing more knowledgeable and opinionated about food.
