Mrs Moneypenny is a former investment banker who writes a column for the Financial Times. She is a staunch defender of bonuses for the likes of Fred Goodwin, an attitude that will appeal to some tastes and not to others. Whether you find that sweet or sour, however, there’s no getting away from the fact that Mrs M is smart and funny, as her cookery-cum-self-promotional show staged in the AGA shop (here doubling for her Oxfordshire kitchen) demonstrates. The champagne and blinis that come with it are tasty, too.

Assembly @ AGA Showroom, 623 3030, until 29 Aug (not 23), 12.30pm & 4.30pm, £12.
