Former Editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and Red magazine, Sam Baker has written five novels, the most recent of which is the psychological thriller ‘The Woman Who Ran’ will be discussing her memoir and best seller, The Shift.

Baker’s book was written for women over forty, the most ignored demographic in society. Yet this is the time when women are likely to have the most freedom, power, confidence, and self-knowledge. Some serious life has been lived so far: there have been episodes in life featuring lust, love, heartbreaks, births, marriages, careers, betrayals, bereavements, and surviving and thriving.

Sam also hosts a podcast of the same name and has hosted the likes of Minnie Driver, Jojo Moyes, Delia Ephron, Lynda La Plante, Pepsi & Shirley, Bobbi Brown, and Mariella Frostrup.

There's a brand new menu from Glaschu's Head Chef Dion Scott and your choices are:

Buttermilk pancakes - roast pears, frangipane, vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

Eggs Benedict - toasted English muffin, topped with grilled Ayrshire bacon, two poached Cacklebean Arlington White free range eggs and Hollandaise sauce.

You'll also enjoy a classic French apéritif from Lillet.
