Join Prue Leith at Falmouth Book Festival for an afternoon of stories, flavour, and inspiration. Prue will reflect on her remarkable life in food — from the pressures of running a Michelin-starred restaurant and founding Leith’s School of Food and Wine, to judging The Great British Bake Off and campaigning for better food in schools and hospitals.

​

She'll also be talking about her latest book, Life's Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom, in which she shares all the shortcuts and hacks she’s built up over a lifetime of easy cooking. Prue’s philosophy is all about saving you time and money, and creating recipes where the cheat versions taste just as good as the home-made. How do you cook the perfect steak? What's the best way to dice an avocado? And what about when it just all goes terribly wrong?

​

Whether you're a food lover, an aspiring cook, or a fan of her writing, this is a rare chance to hear from one of Britain’s best-loved voices.

'Striking just the right balance between impressive dishes and hassle-free cooking, this is one of Prue Leith’s best books' Daily Mail ​
