    Not Separate but Related (Kin with Marie Mitchell)

Welcome back to the Lecker Book Club. Every month I’ll pick a newly released food related book and talk to the author about the process of writing it. I’ll also be writing about it on Substack and Patreon. Join me there as well! You can listen to the previous episode i made with Marie here.

    A History of Packaging (Out of the Box #4)

    Welcome back to Out of the Box. This is an exploration of what surrounds our food, that is, the containers and packaging that it enters our lives in. In this series I've been talking to people who have taken an interesting and innovative approach to packaging what they cook and produce, and exploring some of the broader context around the history of particular food packaging, as well as obviously waste and the impact that packaging has on our environment. While I've been making this project, I really wanted to find an archive of food packaging in the UK, and initially I couldn't, but then by chance I found out that the Museum of Brands in West London has currently has a display called Reuse, Refill, Rethink, all about how different brands over time have approached reusable packaging. It's in collaboration with the University of Sheffield and their research project Many Happy Returns, which aim to enable reusable packaging systems that have the potential to reduce the environmental impact of single use plastic packaging by keeping packaging material in circulation for as long as possible. What I didn't realise is that actually the entire museum is really, really relevant to this conversation and I had completely underestimated that connection. I got in touch with the Museum of Brands and the curator Alice Kain very kindly agreed to show me round.

    The Terroir of Aubergines with N.S. Nuseibeh

    Welcome back to the Lecker Book Club. Every month I’ll pick a newly released food related book and talk to the author about the process of writing it. This month: Namesake: Reflections on a Warrior Woman by N.S. Nuseibeh. Namesake is a collection of essays exploring what it means to be a young, secular Muslim woman today, told through the lens of stories of the author's ancestor, Nusaybah, the only woman warrior to have fought alongside the Prophet. N. S. Nuseibeh is a British Palestinian writer and researcher, born and raised in East Jerusalem. In Namesake, she weaves her own experiences of anxiety, of racism, of joy, of illness, of cooking in shared houses, of aubergines, with the myths and legends told of her ancestor. All of this makes this a book that I think should be required reading for everyone. You can find a transcript for this episode at leckerpodcast.com. Namesake is out now, published by Canongate. Find all of the Lecker Book Club reads on my Bookshop.org list. This month, all the revenue I would normally get from  Patreon, Apple Podcasts and Substack will be donated to mutual aid requests from Gazan people on Operation Olive Branch. If you would like to make your own donation, send me a screenshot and I'll comp you a subscription. Music is by Blue Dot Sessions.

    Scraps 02: Whoosh Whoosh Beep Beep

    Scraps is a new monthly Lecker essay series for subscribers! Thanks for being here. I recently did a 10 minute talk at Interesting24, a conference organised by Russell Davies where 10 people do short talks about interesting things. I had such a good time at the event, despite it being super nerve-wracking and really enjoyed hearing people talk about taps, compost, pensions and many other fascinating topics. The event wasn’t recorded but I’m recreating my talk (fairly) faithfully for you here. I did actually record myself practising it the morning of the event and I was going to share that version but it featured me telling off my dog in the middle because i could hear her licking the cereal bowl I’d left in the living room. So here is a slightly cleaner version for you, hope you enjoy. And thanks to Russell for having me and everyone in the room for being such generous listeners and clappers. Edition 01 was a written essay on Substack and Patreon but this is an audio essay, and I'll endeavour to make all future written essays available as audio versions for paid Apple subscribers.
