George Monbiot's culinary regenesis, and a utopian architect

Blueprint For Living - Full program

George Monbiot wants to turn the global food industry on its head – from radical changes in farming practices to 3D-printed steaks. The prolific writer, environmental activist, and rewilder, explores this and more in his latest book, Regenesis.

Then it's time to meet an eccentric, little-known modernist architect who fought conventions and eschewed publicity: Bill Lucas. His friends and colleagues Peter Longeran and Julie Cracknell join Blueprint to find his traces in Australian architectural history.

Afterward, resident chef Annie Smithers joins us for another edition of Kitchen Rudimental. This time, she schools us in the five 'mother sauces': béchamel, velouté, espagnole, hollandaise, and tomato.

And then it's time for a little bit of magic. Colin Bisset gives us the design history of the magician's wand.
