A charming and informative cooking lesson ! Food becomes incrementally delicious when you know a back story - especially when it has a long and winding lineage! I find Ms Roden's storytelling equal to her exotic palate. The colors and meanings of food, Chicken with dates...right down to the history of Fish and Chips which is remarkable ! Holiday is a good time for air - people are thinking more about food ( listen to find out why!).

The Nextbook intro is a little bit misleading but then it gets right to the kitchen. Nicely done.
