Today’s pick

Sound of Cinema: Feast

Radio 3, 3pm

Food, glorious food is our

subject this week and

especially the way the

colours and smells of what

we eat have lifted the cinema-

going experience. The

presenter Matthew Sweet’s

hook is the new HBO series

Julia, which tells the story of

the American cookery show

pioneer Julia Child (played by

Sarah Lancashire). Child was

also the subject of the 2009

film Julie & Julia, where she

was played by Meryl Streep,

above. It followed the fortunes

of a New Yorker, played by

Amy Adams, who challenges

herself to cook all 524 recipes

in Child’s Mastering the Art of

French Cooking in 365 days.
