Root + Bone – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Episode 7 features former Masterchef champion and Japanese food devotee Tim Anderson, who cooks sushi hand rolls with fish fingers in the middle, and talks about everything from the joy of Japan’s convenience stores to why running a restaurant is a terrible idea. It’s a lovely episode.

This episode features a brilliantly rambling conversation with Tim Hayward - writer, critic, journalist, broadcaster, bakery owner and self-confessed food nerd of the very first order. Tim is a man who can, will and often does spend a whole week thinking about nothing but the differences between mayonnaise and salad cream, then telling us all why that’s important. We need him.

She's been cooking since she was 12, and now she's Head Chef of a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant Murano in London. Em Brightman cooks up a storm as she lets us into the secrets of risotto rice, why she hates custard and why we should all stay positive in 2020. Recorded prior to the Covid-19 lockdown, in Jan 2020. 

This was recorded the day before Boris Johnson announced the closure of all pubs, restaurants and non-essential businesses on 23rd March 2020. We talk (remotely) to some of those caught up in the lockdown to get some perspective on how they're coping, how to adapt and how to stay positive in this unprecedented time for everyone who loves restaurants and food culture. 

We sit down for breakfast with the co-owner of El Pastor to talk cartel avocados, lime juice controversy and some genuinely terrible customer behaviour. Includes some swears.

This week’s guest is Santiago Lastra. Santiago has been cooking at the top of the restaurant game, all over the world, for years. Spain, Italy, France, the Ukraine, Denmark, Mexico - think of a country, he’s probably run a successful pop-up there. Now he’s opened a restaurant in London called Kol that’s creating intricate, complex Mexican dishes, but with ingredients from the UK.  We joined him in his test kitchen to talk about recreating the flavour of avocado with pistachio nuts, putting crab meat under UV light, and being inspired by the humble Ritz cracker. This is a very cheffy one.

This week’s guest on Root & Bone is baking legend Ravneet Gill, who seems determined to build an empire, fix the restaurant business and get us all baking to a higher standard, all at the same time. If you want to be inspired about the future of UK cooking, look no further - Rav’s on a mission to make things better.

She took time out to invite us over, rustle up some Aloo Parathas and talk about everything from Junior Bake-Off to the right way to dip an apple pie into a McFlurry.  This one’s a real dose of positivity - we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
