Prue Leith: The Joy (and Reality) of Getting Older
Beloved cook and broadcaster Dame Prue Leith discusses her new book Being Old — on ageing well, reinvention, loss, and unexpected freedoms. Free.
Why we picked this
Prue Leith has earned the right to be candid about ageing — and her book apparently has the receipts. This is the kind of honest conversation about growing older that rarely gets made public.
Dame Prue Leith has been a cook, restaurateur, author, and television personality across six decades. Her new book Being Old is described as a candid look at the highs, lows, and unexpected freedoms of ageing — the changing priorities, rediscovered passions, and the loss and laughter that come with it.
The RSA talk takes the format of a conversation followed by audience questions, with a book signing opportunity afterwards. It’s an evening for anyone thinking seriously about what the later chapters of life can look like.
