Bonus Episode: Lee Miller - A life with food, friends and recipes

As promised this is the full version of the interview I did with Ami Bouhassane, co-director of the Lee Miller Archives and Farley’s House and Gallery in Sussex, and granddaughter of model, photographer, writer and cook Lee Miller.Ami and I delve further into Lee’s career as a photographer and journalist during World War 2 and a childhood trauma (which some listener’s may find upsetting) - experiences which left her with PTSD and struggling with depression in the later years of her life. We also explore Lee’s love of fitted kitchens, cookery competitions and ‘working’ guests.Useful LinksTo see examples of Lee Miller’s photography visit the Lee Miller Archives online.Farleys House & Gallery and on InstagramBooks on Lee’s work including her cookbook A Life with Food, Friends and Recipes can be found here.Chloe Edwards of Seven Sisters Spices runs cookery workshops at Farleys often using Lee’s recipes.Suggested ReadingThe Lives of Lee Miller by Antony PenroseLee Miller: Photographs by Antony Penrose and Kate WinsletDon’t forget you can follow me on Instagram or Bluesky @mrssbilton or find out more about my work on sambilton.com.A huge thank you to Thomas Ntinas of The Delicious Legacy for doing the sound mixing on this season of the podcast.Comfortably Hungry is a reader-supported publication.
