Eating alone is something all of us have probably done at some point. So, why is there such a stigma around it?

From not preparing a proper meal when we are cooking for ourselves, to feeling self-conscious at a restaurant when dining solo - why do many of us not like eating alone?

Nuala McGovern spoke to Woman's Hour listener Julia Georgallis who wanted us to look into the topic during our Listener Week.

And food writer Clare Finney gave us some tips for how to make eating alone easier.

You can listen to the full discussion on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds - it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 22 August.
