This episode features a brilliantly rambling conversation with Tim Hayward - writer, critic, journalist, broadcaster, bakery owner and self-confessed food nerd of the very first order. Tim is a man who can, will and often does spend a whole week thinking about nothing but the differences between mayonnaise and salad cream, then telling us all why that’s important. We need him.
