BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Giorgio Locatelli cooks the perfect Sicilian pasta; defining female beauty

Giorgio Locatelli cooks the perfect pasta; defining female beauty. With Jane Garvey.

Presented by Jane Garvey. Giorgio Locatelli cooks the perfect Sicilian pasta; defining female beauty.

Presented by Jane Garvey. In the latest in our Cook the Perfect series, Giorgio Locatelli shows Jane how to make pasta con le sarde, or pasta with sardines - a typically Sicilian dish, which showcases the distinctive flavours and chequered history of the island. The art historian Aileen Ribeiro has spent over twenty years trying to define female beauty in art. But how much of the beauty in the portraits that hang in our museums came from nature, how much from the artist's hand, and how much from the canny application of a bit of slap? And is there such a thing as universal beauty? At the end of October, Tunisia was the first Arab country to hold elections following their Arab spring uprising. So what is the future for women's rights now that the Islamist party, Ennahda, was victorious at the polls? And the playwright Sarah Lee on her play Snakes and Ladders, which was inspired by oral histories gathered at an Afro-Caribbean hair salon in Brighton.
