Quentin Crewe has always been an enthusiastic traveller and even the onset of muscular dystrophy has not curbed him. His other great interest is in food. He has paid for both of these enthusiasms by journalism and by writing books about them. In conversation with Roy Plomley, he talks about his fascinating life and his travels, which have included a journey across the Sahara with his wheelchair.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Violin Concerto No.1 in G Minor - 3rd Movement by Max Bruch
