Hello and welcome to the Beef and Dairy Network podcast, the number one podcast for those involved,

who are just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds.

The Beef and Dairy Network podcast is the podcast companion to the Beef and Dairy Network website and the printed magazine brought to you by Graisex.

This month we're doing something we've never done on the podcast before, cooking.

And who better to lead us in our cooking than Cliff Trent Roberts.

TV's Mr Beef, Cliff Trent Roberts has been cooking beef on television since the mid 80s and was almost single handedly responsible for the beef renaissance of the 90s.

A rid-lentless campaigner to get beef to feature more heavily in school meals, he's still going strong.

In fact, the final episode of his most recent television series around the world in 80 beefs in which he ate a corn beef sandwich with Dalai Lama was watched by more people than the moon landings.

He's known for his flamboyant beef recipes and of course his high profile fling with Princess Diana.

We've been waiting to set this up for some time, but it was only this month that Cliff had some space in his diary due to a cancelled court hearing after the unexplained death of the plaintiff.

My visit to Mr Trent Roberts Central London Penthouse apartment also coincided with the publishing of New Research in New Scientist magazine,

which suggested that eating beef for every meal is unhealthy.

We're taking that piece of research with a pinch of salt, some pepper, a boat of onion gravy and a beef Wellington, followed by a dessert wine and a generous helping of fruits of the forest trifle.

But we thought it provided us with a nice challenge for Cliff, cooking something that isn't beef.

If you haven't had dinner yet and have a well-stocked ladder or a pause button and a shop nearby, why not cook along?

There is, come in Cliff.

Before we got down to cooking, I took the opportunity to have a look around Cliff's kitchen.
