BBC Two - A Taste of My Life, Series 4, Meera Syal

Nigel Slater takes Meera Syal on a nostalgic culinary journey back through her life.

Nigel Slater explores the lives and loves of celebrities through their experiences of food. Meera Syal's best friend Jo Brand gives us an anti-cookery lesson.

Meera's best friend Jo Brand gives an anti-cookery lesson making bangers, mash and beans for Meera; buddy Richard E Grant challenges Meera to make a bread and butter pud, and reveals how eating at Meera's pad is a mealy-mouthed affair!

Over the food of her life, Meera Syal tells Nigel about how, as a rather overweight, unattractive youth with a twitch, she was an inveterate scrapper at school. She reveals how she writes all her own roles because it's boring being repeatedly asked to be a shop keeper, a wife in an arranged marriage... or a terrorist!
