From Blur to Puccini.

Chef, TV presenter and cookery writer, Angela Hartnett MBE shares her castaway choices with Kirsty Young.

Angela was born in 1968 to an Italian mother and Irish father, and her culinary career has been influenced by her Italian background and her grandmother's cooking.

After studying for a history degree, Angela began work in the catering industry before joining Gordon Ramsay at his restaurant Aubergine. In 2002 she took over at the Connaught, London, as the first woman chef to run its restaurant. When it closed five years later, she moved on to open her own restaurant, Murano, in 2008. She achieved a Michelin star in both establishments and has expanded her restaurant business.

She has been a regular contributor on some of TV and radio's most popular cookery shows. In 2007, she was awarded an MBE for Services to the Hospitality Industry.

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in January 2018.
