Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

Alice Robinson: Field, Fork, Fashion

Listen on

Episode notes

This week, you may be surprised to find a fashion designer on the show. But Alice Robinson is not what you might imagine. 

She’s only just left the Royal College of Art, but her work has already been featured in the V&A ‘s Food: Bigger than the Plate exhibition. Her first book Field, Fork, Fashion has had her on Radio’s 4’s Start the Week to discuss our connection with the countryside - with James Rebanks among the other guests.  

She is an extraordinary advocate of our connection with the land and prods us to think in a whole new way about the provenance of leather. Gilly finds out what the Fork in the title means to her story.
