  Vivek Singh on 25 Years of The Cinnamon Club 04.08.2026 45min

  Vivek Singh has spent the last 25 years redefining what Indian fine dining can be. As the chef behind London's iconic Cinnamon Club, he joins the Good Food podcast to reflect on the restaurant's remarkable journey, the dishes that changed perceptions of Indian cuisine, and the stories that have shaped his career. Vivek shares how he deliberately challenged expectations when The Cinnamon Club first opened, removing familiar curry-house staples in favour of regional flavours, seasonal British ingredients and bold new ideas. He explains why one deeply personal dish, "Papa Pigeon", has never left the menu, how his mother's pumpkin chutney became an unlikely signature, and why the restaurant's 25th anniversary tasting menu celebrates both tradition and innovation. Along the way, Vivek looks back on growing up in eastern India, where community celebrations revolved around home-cooked food, and recalls the Bengali wedding meal that introduced him to the prawn curry that remains his favourite dish to this day. He also reveals his biggest kitchen disaster, the surprising ingredient he thinks is overrated, and the guilty pleasure he can't resist. Whether you're fascinated by restaurant history, passionate about Indian food or simply love hearing the stories behind unforgettable dishes, this episode is packed with warmth, humour and plenty of inspiration. **In this episode:** * 25 years of The Cinnamon Club * Reinventing Indian fine dining * The story behind "Papa Pigeon" * Childhood food memories from Bengal * Why regional Indian cooking matters * His favourite Bengali prawn curry * The biggest kitchen disaster of his career * The Five Guys milkshake he swears by Learn more about your ad choices.

  Claire Richards on Tour Riders & the Fish Pie That Nearly Ended Her 28.07.2026 40min

  Recorded live at the Good Food Show, Samuel Goldsmith sits down with pop star and Steps member Claire Richards. Claire reveals the origin of her legendary Pasta a la Claire — born on a 1990s Steps VHS and originally made with packet ham and a tin of tomato soup — and how she's since given it a grown-up makeover. She talks growing up on her mum's "mince-based" cooking outside London, teaching herself Thai curry after her honeymoon, and the four-hour ragù she perfected after a trip to Bologna. There's life on the road too: dodgy service-station sandwiches and Ribena in the 90s, why she now asks for Whispering Angel on her rider, the one day every tour she takes over the kitchen to cook for the whole crew, and the strict no-spice rule before a show. Plus: eating caviar off her hand at the British Fashion Awards, crunching prawn shells in Japan, her M&S ambassador role and the new strawberry sparkling wine, the Celebrity MasterChef fish pie disaster involving very runny mash, and which Steps member she'd pick as her sous chef.

  Honey & Co's Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer on why there should always be food left on the table 09.06.2026 51min

  This week, Samuel Goldsmith is joined by husband-and-wife duo Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich, the founders of Honey & Co, to talk about food, hospitality, and the joy of feeding people. From their childhood food memories, one shaped by English cooking, the other by the rich flavours of Jerusalem and the wider Middle East, to building one of London’s most beloved restaurant groups, Sarit and Itamar share the story behind Honey & Co and their latest cookbook, Honey & Co: The Daily Dish. We chat about why “Middle Eastern food” is more of a sensibility than a cuisine, the dishes they could happily eat for the rest of their lives, and the cultural differences between British politeness and Middle Eastern generosity at the dinner table. They reveal their biggest kitchen disaster involving worms, sand and pasta, debate the merits of tahini, confess their love for Doritos and McDonald’s milkshakes, and explain why good food always comes down to three things: love, attention and ingredients.
