Dame Prue Leith’s tour Nothing In Moderation visits G Live in Guildford on February 11 at 7.30pm.

In the 1960s and 1970s Prue ran a catering business and set up Leith’s Food and Wine, which trains professional cooks and amateur chefs.

Prue has written cookery books and food features, appeared on Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules, and been a judge on The Great British Bake Off since 2017.

She will share anecdotes about being a restaurateur, novelist, businesswoman and television star, feeding the rich and famous, cooking for royalty and poisoning her clients. In the second half she will be joined on stage by Clive Tulloh, who will put audience questions to her.

Prue said: “I’ve never done a stage show before and at 82 I’m probably nuts to try it, but it’s huge fun, makes the audience laugh and lets me rant away about the restaurant trade, publishers, television and writing, and sing the praises of food, love and life.”
