Lesley Waters: This week I'm... Reading Le Répertoire de La Cuisine by Louis Saulnier. It's an old cookbook my lecturer gave to me when I was training to be a chef in the Seventies. I've returned to it recently and it's inspired me to cook classic dishes. Listening to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, which really relaxes me. It's that chilled-out, blue-note style of jazz rather than the heavy stuff. I also love Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet as I'm a bit of a romantic at heart. Eating at Barrafina, an amazing tapas place in London's Frith Street. It has a really long bar and you just sit up there and eat. I love that style of dining - it's so unpretentious. barrafina.co.uk Watching classic films. They're the best cure when I'm feeling really knackered. I couldn't pick a favourite but they must star Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant or Doris Day. Cooking sole meunière, which is a classic fish dish. It's so simple - just fresh fish and butter, really - but it's divine. Shopping at Bridport market. You can buy wonderful things at the vintage stalls; we found an old television set and a Sixties drinks cabinet. bridportmarket.com Walking along the Dorset coast, which is only 20 minutes from our house. There are some great beach cafés, like the Hive, so we can go out for a walk and have a fabulous lunch as well. hivebeachcafe.co.uk Waters is fronting the "Ready Steady Cook Live!" tour in 2013: readysteadycooklive.com.
