Rachel Allen: 'My grandfather escaped from a concentration camp'

'I don't think it's good to have regrets but I'd like to have asked my grandparents more'

Rachel Allen.

I grew up in Foxrock in Dublin. I had a really happy childhood.

My parents were always supportive. I baked a lot with my sister. We used to set up our teddy bears against a wall in the kitchen and pretend that we were teaching them or doing a TV program. She was always in charge and I was her assistant. We laugh about that now.
