Jeremy Lee on the 30 year cookbook, 100 years of Quo Vadis and Scottish fare

In this episode, recorded at Quo Vadis in the Soho institution's 100th year, he joins host Samuel Goldsmith to talk about Cooking, the book that lay fallow for 30 years, and Kitchening, the seasonal follow-up he wrote in a single January locked away in a Dorset farmhouse.

Poppy O'Toole on Batch Cooking, MSG and her own child hating potatoes
Poppy O'Toole on batch cooking, secret MSG and putting caviar on chicken wings Poppy O'Toole is back for a rare second appearance and this time she's brought a new baby, a new book and a confession about the little pot of MSG living next to her salt and pepper. We get into her Absolutely Delicious Batch Cookbook and why most batch cooking books get it wrong (nobody wants to lose an entire Sunday), the goose fat roast potato trick that lets you freeze them par-boiled and cook straight from frozen, and why every recipe is tested to go in the oven without defrosting.

Yotam Ottolenghi on why Simple food can't be beat
Samuel Goldsmith sits down with Yotam Ottolenghi at his London HQ to talk about Simple 2, the follow-up to his 2018 bestseller, and why the kitchen has become a refuge from a noisy, screen-filled world. Yotam explains how his idea of "simple" has evolved: under 10 ingredients, one pan or pot, less peeling and chopping, and unashamed use of good-quality jars and tins. Along the way he shares the confit chickpeas with olives and orange that epitomise the book, oven-baked meatballs glazed with pomegranate molasses, a rustic "one sauce" roasted tomato base, three dairy-rich rice recipes, and a…

Angellica Bell on her career in TV, MasterChef and Baked Alaska
Angellica Bell joins Samuel Goldsmith live at the Good Food Show in Birmingham for an episode about the food that made her. She takes us back to her grandmother's tiny London kitchen - a St Lucian chef who cooked entirely by instinct, never opened a cookbook, and had Angellica gutting fish and frying chicken by the age of six. There was a blackberry bush in the garden, a pot always on the stove, and an open door for anyone who knocked. From there: student survival food (pasta, baked beans and cheese), the Dairy Book of Home Cookery that three generations of her family have cooked from, and…
