YES CHEF – Details, episodes & analysis

The final episode of Yes Chef Season 3 is with the nicest man in the restaurant business, a regular on TV cooking shows, the Spanish legend, the man who nearly chose dentistry over food (we're so glad he didn't), chef Jose Pizarro. The Godfather of Spanish food has four restaurants to his name, with José Tapas Bar on Bermondsey Street; Pizarro, just a few yards from José Tapa; José Pizarro at Broadgate Circle; and his latest venture The Swan Inn Esher. Listen to Jose tell Ben and Jordan all about his life, coming to London and championing Spanish food.

We headed on down to Clapham Common for this episode of Yes Chef to chat to Adam Byatt who has three restaurants in the area. He's got the Michelin-starred Trinity, it's more relaxed counterpart Upstairs (which is surprise, surprise, right above Trinity) and the casual Bistro Union. Hear how Adam got into the world of food, made his mark as part of the community in Clapham and put his stamp on the London restaurant scene.

Ladies and gentlemen, does this chef and award-winning food writer need an introduction? We think not, but we're nice so we'll do one anyway. Gizzi Erskine is our second guest on this season's Yes Chef podcast where she invited Ben and Jordan for breakfast in her very own home...it's lovely and she's got a leopard print sofa.

This episode dives into all sorts including the importance of sustainability, how we should be more conscious about eating less meat, and knowing more about where the food we eat is sourced from. Passions run high, Jordan gets his glasses cleaned and Gizzi talks about her amazing journey with food and some of the exciting things that lie ahead.

If you haven't already, check out Gizzi's latest cookbook SLOW: Food Worth Taking Your Time Over - the flageolet bean, anchovy confit garlic and rosemary gratin is out of this world. Oh and the makhani dhal too.

We're back baby. YES CHEF is here for another season with six brand new episodes featuring more of our favourite chefs and foodies. Kicking off season two for us is master of pies Calum Franklin from Holborn Dining Room. The man is so obsessed with pies that he created a pie room built into the restaurant, with glass doors facing onto the street so you can watch how these beautifully crafted masterpieces are brought to life with intricate delicacy.

In this episode, Jordan and Ben find how Calum began life in the kitchen, how a pie mould can create a whole new vision and what lies ahead in the pie-sphere. If you like pies, well, you are in for a treat.
