    Dr Ranj Singh

    The Magic Ingredient has a slightly different flavour this week, as we’re all still stuck inside. But even though they can’t all be together in the kitchen, Kay and Kate are still whipping up a delicious meal for this week’s special guest Dr Ranj! Ranj is a television presenter, author, columnist, resident medic on This Morning and a Strictly mover and shaker. As a trained doctor he’s spending most of his time in hospital helping with the coronavirus crisis, but he found some time to chat about healthy eating during lockdown, his love of cake, childhood food memories and the unusual thing that he loves to put on his chips! Ranj also answers questions from the Pinch of Nom audience, while the Magic Ingredient he brought in led to plenty of giggling (you’ll know why when you hear what it is). For a selection of quick and easy Nom recipes and to submit your questions to the girls, visit pinchofnom.com/recipes/imam-bayildi

Next, the girls chat with their special guest, the reality show star, former Loose Woman panelist and I’m a Celebrity champ Vicky Pattison!

Needs a bit more direction and less talking over

I enjoyed it but it needs some direction as very little was said about the dish you were cooking etc and everyone was talking over each other so hard to follow the conversation, Also please stop saying the work ‘LIKE’ you are not children and it is distracting.

Kate needs some practice.

Not a bad podcast. Kay doing a good job and comes across as professional but apart from when she’s talking about cooking all kate does is agrees with Kay. Gets irritating after a while!
