Coronation 2023 – How is Food Bringing us Together?

Jaega Wise joins a community lunch, and explores the history of coronation eating from the 1500s to today.

As people around the country gather to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, Jaega Wise finds out how food is bringing communities together. Jaega joins a community lunch in Kidlington, run by the Cherwell Collective, to talk to its founder, Emily Connally, about their coronation lunch. She also asks Lucy Scott of the pay-as-you-can bakery Lil’s Parlour in Birmingham, all about why she wanted to bring her community together around food to celebrate the big day.

Also in the programme, food historian, Polly Russell, discusses how food has been used to mark coronations from the 1500s to today, and chef Ken Hom talks us through the inspiration for his coronation lamb dish.

Presented by Jaega Wise and produced by Sophie Anton for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Audio in Bristol
