Cooking with love

Your stories about the sentimental items in your kitchens

Why hold on to an old clay pot, a worn-out metal spoon, or a plain glass bowl?

Earlier this year, we made a programme celebrating old and cherished cookware and received a huge response from World Service listeners.

So, in this edition, Ruth Alexander hears your stories of the poignance that can be found in the most unassuming kitchen utensil, and explores a few other tales we’ve uncovered of cooking with love.
