In BBC Radio 4′s With Great Pleasure, Neil Stuke, who plays Billy Lamb, the Clerk in BBC One’s Silk, chooses his favourite and funniest writing about food. It’s read by Miranda Raison and Jack Klaff.

Pieces range from Laurie Lee and Chris Stewart on the delights of Spanish cuisine, to Keith Floyd and Anthony Bourdain on the joys of seafood – and Geoff Dyer on his loathing of the same.  Provocative one-liners from PJ O’Rourke, Samuel Pepys on honest gluttony, words of wisdom from Clement Freud and DH Lawrence describing what he ate on his travels in Italy complete a brilliant and comic bill of fare.  A couple of songs with foodie lyrics are also on the menu.

Neil Stuke is a keen cook, who was runner-up in Celebrity MasterChef. His father was a chef, and Neil himself is a passionate food lover who owns a farm shop.
