Jack Monroe: On Self-Care and Social Change
To call Jack Monroe a cookbook writer would be to undersell her by several degrees of magnitude. From being a struggling single mother on a microbudget, she has built a career helping those who society has left behind. Fresh from pressuring supermarkets to scrap price hikes and cooking with Marcus Rashford, she’s here to talk about systemic change, the cost-of-living crisis and Good Food for Bad Days, her book of ‘depressipes’, or nourishing meals for low energy, brainfog days. Chaired by Kit de Waal.
