Jack Monroe rose to fame with her blog 'A Girl Called Jack\u2019, sharing her struggles as a single mum on benefits, with just \xa310 a week to spend on food. She\u2019s become a best-selling, award-winning writer of cookery books and she campaigns against poverty.

A regular on TV and social media, talking benefits and food banks, Jack Monroe has attracted the wrath of some right-wing commentators. She successfully sued former newspaper columnist, Katie Hopkins, for comments made online. Now, she\u2019s threatening legal action against a Conservative MP who\u2019s accused her of profiteering from the poor.

Mark Coles finds out what inspires Monroe's love of cooking, how growing up with foster children influenced her outlook and why she\u2019s determined to speak out for the poorest in society.
