Summary

Jay Rayner and the panel are in Durham answering questions from an audience of eager home cooks. Joining Jay are chefs, cooks and food writers Rob Owen Brown, Sarah Rankin and Rachel McCormack, and local legend and hairy biker, Si King. The panel discuss chutneys fit for a wedding, how to concoct the perfect sweet and sour pork, and aubergine recipes for someone who doesn’t like aubergines. Later, we hear the panel’s verdict whether eating ice cream with cheese and onion crisps is ever acceptable.

Producer: Dan Cocker Junior Producer: Dulcie Whadcock A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
