You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts. Music Radio Podcasts. Okay, well, I'm glad we gave you a Kent strawberry.

That was very special. Can anyone want to cook? Well if ever there was someone qualified to answer that question

then surely Samin Nosrat is a long woman.

California Soul.

California Soul. California soul.

We asked you for a recipe. Tell me what the recipe is and why you chose it.

I think it's a pretty representative recipe

for all of the four elements, salt,

that acid and heat, and it's pasta with clams.

It's really, really simple, and I think it feels like a triumph when you've made it.

I'm going to put the butter in now. I'm assuming that's kind of what makes the sauce and that's

what's going to cook the pasta. Who knows I? We could have a calamity on her

hands. California. Cooks in training, in training, while more in just a moment. A few weeks ago I sat down in a studio, a picnic laid out betweeners of Kent Strawberries and Devon Cream.
