Chef and food writer Claire Thomson invites you to join her as she steps out of her kitchen to discover what's cooking in the home kitchens of Britain and beyond. Claire is renowned for her authentic take on home cooking and loved for her inspirational and no nonsense approach to food and cookery. In this podcast, Claire is on a mission to discover and cook other people's favourite, tried and tested home recipes.
Travelling across the country, each episode drops you into the heart of a new kitchen. Cooking shoulder to shoulder with guests from every profession other than her own, aprons on, ingredients out and pans bubbling. Expect to hear much laughter as together they rummage through cutlery drawers, nose through spice racks and fling open fridge doors, chopping and chatting to get food on the table.
Guests for Series 1 include an academic, Ellen Hughes baking her No Recipe Apple Cake, broadcaster Cerys Matthews making a Cawl, No - Dig Gardener Charles Dowding using his home grown beets for a Borscht, comedian Amy Mason whips up a Leek Pasta and the CEO of Childline Rebecca Wilcox cooks Carbonara. With more guests in the pipeline, tuck in for some tasty kitchen companionship.

Listened whilst getting a chicken and veg ready for supper. Ellen’s intuitive approach (along with all the laughter!) has meant a more herby, garlicky, intuitive offering awaits this eve - Thank you! Wished I cd have pulled up a chair with you both!

Fistful of butter
This made me feel normal, I can never follow a recipe & the family always tell me that was lovely but we will never get it again as I can’t remember what I did. I always listen to podcasts whilst making dinner so this just added to the commotion in my own kitchen. Loved the realness of this discussion on what’s being made for dinner & deciding by just looking in the fridge. I’ll definitely have a go at the apple cake, minus the scales.
