Summary
Jay Rayner and the panel are in Shepherd's Bush, London answering questions on chilli oil and of course, shepherd's pie. Joining Jay are chefs, cooks and food writers Tim Anderson, Nisha Katona and Jeremy Pang, and materials expert Dr Zoe Laughlin.
The panellists suggest what to cook with six types of aubergine, their methods for making crispy chilli oil at home, and whether purchasing a steam oven is a good idea. They also share their go-to store cupboard recipes and the most fool proof method of constructing the perfect shepherd's pie.
Produced by Dominic Tyerman Assistant producer: Rahnee Prescod.
A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
