Tom Kitchin Sue Lawrence Tom Parker Bowles Anna Del Conte Fascinating Food Facts with Michael Cox

Tom Kitchin
The Michelin-starred, all-too aptly-named chef must feel like the cat who nabbed the cream as he launches his first cookbook From Nature to Plate.
17 Aug, 2.30pm, £9 (£7)

Sue Lawrence
The 1991 victor of Masterchef has produced a book which has some very famous Scottish folk discussing their eating habits. The likes of Gordon Brown, Sharleen Spiteri and Midge Ure are among those spilling the beans.
15 Aug, 3.30pm, £9 (£7)

Tom Parker Bowles
In The Year of Eating Dangerously, Prince Charles’ stepson went travelling to different countries across the globe in search of outlandish food. From Korea to Spain, the hunt for bizarre scran proved to be an occasionally hearty, often stomach-churning voyage.
17 Aug, noon, £9 (£7)

Anna Del Conte
She once advised Jamie Oliver to use a different pan when cooking his pasta (tall and thin-bottomed) and has little truck for the cult of the celebrity chef. Still, they seem to like her, as Delia Smith can’t get enough of her writing on Italian cuisine.
17 Aug, 8.30pm, £9 (£7)

Fascinating Food Facts with Michael Cox
Not sure whether it’s better to visit this one on a full or empty stomach as we discover the rather odd eating habits of the ancient European civilisations. Gulp.
17 Aug, 1.30pm, £4
