Kate Humble with Alison Lea-Wilson, Jess Lea-Wilson and Toria Whitfield

Matters of Taste: Home Made – Recipes from the Countryside

Hay Festival 2025, 

The much-loved broadcaster and author (A Year of Living Simply, Where the Hearth Is), introduces her new collection of simple, sustainable recipes from her own kitchen table. Your tastebuds will tingle at the thought of her baba ganoush with flatbreads, apple, cheese & honey tart or chorizo, prawn & butter bean stew, rounded off with chocolate chip cookies or a delicious plum tarte tatin.

Along with her recipes, Humble shares inspiring stories from individuals who play a role in bringing food to our tables, from basket-weavers and apron-makers to blacksmiths and woodworkers, and from potters and glassblowers to fishermen and cheese-makers. She’s joined by artisan makers Alison Lea-Wilson and Jess Lea-Wilson of Halen Môn sea salt, a seasoning business known worldwide for its hand harvested sea salt, and Toria Whitfield, the creative force behind Field & Found, a hand-made clothing and workwear range.
