Elisabeth Luard talks to Charlotte Metcalf with warmth and candour about her passion for cooking and food, her extensive travels, her upbringing in Uruguay and time as a debutante in London during the 50s, motherhood, her long marriage to Nicholas Luard, the one-time owner of Private Eye and founder of the satirical Establishment Club with Peter Cook. She also describes the harrowing death of her daughter to AIDS and talks about her life now and loving - finally - having a ‘room of her own’ in Acton.
