"It's like Santa's shaking you."

In this special preview episode to Season 2, we chat all things mince pie!

Ever wondered what one is? Who makes the best? How to make better ones at home?

Host Jennifer Earle - a food innovation consultant and London food tour guide - sits down with the Pie King, Chef Calum Franklin, author of The Pie Room, and award-winning food writer and mince pie reviewer, Felicity Cloake. They try 12 of 2022's mince pies from a selection of London's best bakeries and grocers.

Some of the mince pies are available anywhere in the UK and the link above includes a list of others that are probably worth checking out.

What's coming next:

The rest of Season 2 will be recorded and released in 2023. Expect chats about croissants, Jewish bakes, Middle Eastern treats, bread, biscuits and more, with Jen and a series of talented and knowledgeable guests.

This week I sit down (foolishly, in the not-empty restaurant) with the Head Baker of Toklas Bakery, Janine Edwards. You can watch it on YouTube if you prefer.

You'll learn a few things about what it's like to be a professional baker and what's special about Toklas.

In this week's podcast I also mention the newest place in Covent Garden and a fun twist on cake I stumbled upon at Coal Drops Yard market on Sunday.
