Miele sponsors the British Library’s Food Season

The event brings together some of the most influential names in food, drink, hospitality, literature and science.

Now in its sixth year, a full programme of events has been designed to inspire, entertain and educate throughout May, culminating in a two-day celebration of food through workds, sounds, cultures, ideas and tastings on 25-26 May.

Inspired by cookbooks, recipes and culinary manuscripts in the British Library’s collection, highlights of the season include:

  • A live recording of Jessie and Lennie Ware’s celebrated podcast Table Manners, with musician, actor, writer and mental health campaigner, Jordan Stephens.
  • Social media farming sensation and bestselling author, Julius Roberts, on the joys and challenges of being a farmer in the digital age.
  • Award-winning Azumah Nelson in conversation with food writer Melissa Thompson about the significance of food in his work, including the multi-award bestseller, Open Water.

Helen Pyman, marketing director for Miele GB said: “We are excited to be part of this thought provoking and engaging event and look forward to further raising awareness of the Mielebrand.”

Dr Polly Russell, head of the Eccles Institute for the Americas & Oceania at the British Library and Food Season Founder, added: We’re delighted to welcome Miele on board as sponsor of the Food Season at the British Library this year. The season encompasses a range of events inspired by cookbooks, recipes and culinary manuscripts in the British Library’s collections, accompanied by a host of the most exciting voices from across the food world.

“From a celebration of Le Gavroche, the iconic London restaurant that has been the training ground for a generation of chefs, to joining Jessie and Lennie Ware for a live recording of their award-winning cult podcast Table Manners, there is an event to suit all tastes.”

The 2024 Food Season has been developed by British Library curator and Food Season founder Dr Polly Russell with award-winning food writers Angela Clutton and Melissa Thompson as co-directors, with assistance from Joe Allen.
