Kelis: Adventures in food, music and art

The Cultural Frontline speaks to artists combining the creative and the culinary in innovative and imaginative ways.

On this week鈥檚 Cultural Frontline we celebrate the writers, musicians and designers combining the creative arts with the culinary arts in innovative and imaginative ways.

Tina takes a tour of the mouth-watering exhibition FOOD: Bigger than the Plate at London鈥檚 Victoria and Albert museum. The Mexican designer Fernando Laposse reveals how his brightly coloured corn-based textile helped a Mexican community facing unemployment.

Can you find family in a bowl of Nigerian soup? The food writer Yemisi Aribisala reminisces on the recipes and the rituals that go into the creation of a beautiful bowl of Ogbono soup, just like her auntie used to make.

The Palestinian artist Mirna Bamieh takes us behind the scenes of the live art project that seeks to rediscover and revive traditional Palestinian recipes and practices that are disappearing.

Plus more than just milkshakes - we hear from the pop star and Cordon Bleu chef Kelis about how her food inspires her music and her music inspires her food.
