The story of the multi award winning Lee Miller cookbook: Lee Miller, A Life with Food, Friends & Recipes told by its author, Lee Miller's grand-daughter Ami Bouhassane. 

A book that took over 10 years to compile, Ami Bouhassane tells the forgotten story of Lee Miller's life with food and how her cookbook finally came to be. More than being just about a cookbook of recipes, the book and talk explores Lee Miller's life through the influence of food and how it ascends to becoming the creative vehicle that she eventually swaps her camera for and uses to build bridges, heal old wounds, and to empower other women. 

A woman of many lives and mistress of her own re-invention Lee Miller, model, surrealist and fashion photographer, war correspondent and gourmet cook does everything wholeheartedly and with an imaginative flair. Much has been written about the varied forms of her creativity but Lee Miller's achievement as a gourmet chef is usually left to being an endnote. Ami Bouhassane sees this part of Lee Miller's life as Lee's longest battle and most extraordinary personal accomplishment in every sense.

The 45 minute talk followed by a Q&A with Ami Bouhassane is illustrated by Lee Miller's pictures and spreads from the book.

Lee Miller: A Life with Food, Friends and Recipes, is the cookbook category winner of the Independent Publishing Wards (IPPY) 2018 as well as winner of 'Literary or Historical Food Writing Cookbook award' and the 'Jane Grigson Award for scholarship', both from the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) 2019.
