A soothing ramble through the food memories of writers, chefs and foodies. Food connects us to our hearts and grounds us in place.

Steve Lamb

The sound is variable on this episode due to remote recording via Zoom, but it’s a fun chat with lots of silliness and a good amount of heart. We talked about everything Steve ate as a child being fried in lard, loving the simplicity of charcuterie, poking people in the stomach and playing the fool and why he loves nothing more than travelling about with his wife, beautiful girls and a host of animals.

JP McMahon

We spoke about conquering the fear of the high diving board, kids that won’t eat veg and allowing them to find their own way with food, trying to bring a live lobster into a theatre, JPs bus tour of shame and what makes him cook. He’s a self effacing, ridiculously talented treasure.

Kylee Newton

This week’s conversation is with my dear friend Kylee Newton of Newton & Pott, (makers of gorgeous small batch preserves) and author of The Modern Preserver (a modern classic for home preservers). She was a photographic printmaker for Wolfgang Tillmans before discovering a talent for combining flavours in the most mouthwatering way - simple, well chosen ingredients introduced to each other and jarred for enjoyment at a later date. She has no formal culinary training, except a lifetime of cooking and tasting and a palate that needs no education. Like me she loves to teach and her straight forward Kiwi character makes her a joyfully unvarnished person (my favourite kind). I knew as soon as I met her that we would be friends and I feel as though I have known her forever. The result is a giggling catch up between two women who love to muck about, a celebration of Kylee’s Nan who raised eight children by herself and still found time to put a plate of freshly baked scones on the table for her 23 grandchildren. Kylee talks about her efforts to recreate the perfect scones of her childhood for her forthcoming book and how the process took her right back to basics, learning to bake by feel and not numbers.

Mark Diacono

My dear friend and sometime colleague Mark Diacono agreed to have a chat that we had imagined would be a fond ramble through lardy cakes and 1970s Findus pancakes (mostly things with cake in the title actually), but instead turned out to be a blushing confessional of the time that Mark woke up in a commercial oven dressed as Boy George after drinking a mixture of alcohols that I’ve yet to find a reference to in any cocktail literature because it sounds disgusting (Mark insists it tastes like cream soda). Despite what this might lead you to think, Mark is a gentle, thoughtful man and a brilliant writer. I could (and sometimes do) spend hours talking to him about everything and nothing and feel that the time was very well spent. His plaudits are many - ex River Cottage head gardener, grower of unusual edible plants, author of many award winning cookbooks and regular columnist on food and gardening. Whatever he’s currently into, he’ll make sure you’re into it too after a few minutes chat. Infectious enthusiasm I think they call it - like a culinary spaniel with a very exciting treasure he found on the beach.

Cliodhna Prendergast

Gill Meller

Gill talks about the first fish he caught, cooking mushrooms in a tree and not poisoning himself, worrying he had poisoned a celebrity, the pull of cooking outside over fire and his lovely mum, who passed him a wooden spoon full of soup when it was his turn to become the chef of the house.
