In this episode, we’re back home on a Sunday afternoon.
You can smell roast potatoes in the air, hear gravy bubbling on the stove, see steam on the windows. Someone’s shouting for more Yorkshire puddings from the other room.
I talk about my memories of the British Sunday roast - a meal that’s part of our national story.
This episode is all about tradition, comfort, and how this meal changed over time, from big feasts in castles to factory families to vegan gravy in a French bar on a rainy day.
If you’ve ever missed the taste of a meal from home, this one’s for you!
