Details

Ellen Duckenfield, a woman obsessed with feeding people, tells her story through a series of recipes. She occupies a moral maze between her hippy family's political roots, her middle-class privilege and the contrast of growing up in Margaret Thatcher's era of the individual - 'get rich quick' mentality - that drives her desire for personal success. Part dinner party, part genealogical excavation, part cookery demonstration, The Ideal Recipe weighs up the intricate balance between responsibility to others and responsibility to oneself.
