Josceline Dimbleby
Sunday 13 February 2005 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Today Michael Berkeley talks to Josceline Dimbleby, who has been well-known for the past 25 years as a best-selling writer on cookery. She has recently published A Profound Secret, an intriguing family memoir based on a previously unknown cache of letters from the pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones to Josceline Dimbleby's great-grandmother, May Gaskell. She studied singing at the Guildhall School of Music in London, and her choices include songs by Pergolesi, Purcell, Duparc, Strauss and Jerome Kern.
