Table for one — The singular pleasure of eating alone

Cooking and eating are often characterised as communal activities. To some, the idea of cooking or eating alone conjures images of loneliness, isolation — perhaps even wasted time. Whether you've chosen a solitary life, are yet to settle down, or find yourself living alone in later life, our guests today insist that cooking for oneself can be a powerful act of self-care.

Guests: 

• Kate Legge, journalist, novelist and author of Delicious: Stories of Cooking, Love and Friendship
• Signe Johansen, cook, writer, author of Solo: The Joy of Cooking for One
• Eric Kim, food columnist and recipe developer at the New York Times, author of Korean American: Food that Tastes like Home
