This is The Guardian.

Hiya, now you find me with my headphones on,

re-listening to some of my most beloved episodes of comfort eating. Why, you ask. Well, I have decided to curate just for you, a selection that I am calling my special summer scorcheroonie snack selection of probably the best holiday fodder you could deliver into your eardrums.

This mini-series contains the episodes I deem to be absolutely right and proper to listen to when,

well, when you're on a long car journey towards the breck and beacons, perhaps to go camping,

or on a choppy ferry to the Isle of Wight, or just in a sweaty airport lounge.

These episodes have made me laugh a lot. First up, it's one of our most

listened to episodes ever. Stay tuned. I'm Grace Dent and this is Comfort Eating from the Guardian.

A podcast where we pay homage to the lesser celebrated foods in life.

Because even as a restaurant critic, I believe the food that matters most is often that

snack you cobble together when you're curled upon the sofa.

Each week, I ask my guest to lift the lid on what comfort foods

have seen them through their lives. Because you can tell a lot about a person from what they

eat behind closed on.

Hello friends, you find me for the very last time this series in my kitchen. Yes, I know, I hear you, up and down the country, moaning for more, but do not fear too much, friends. Comfort eating, we'll be back later in the year. Now, I have a fabulous guest arriving in a minute for a chat and a plate of something hearty.

Closing season four is none other than the actor James Norton.

Yeah, that's right.

James Norton from Happy Valley.

Before he gets here, I'm just treating myself to a little January health kick pack of snackajacks.

They are a health food, aren't they?

Just dipping them in absolutely delicious spicy tomato sauce.

So maurish.
