Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

Gurd Loyal: Flavour Heroes


Listen Later

This week, we’re back at Rockwater in Hove for Cooking the Books Live with Gurd Loyal.


Regular listeners will know that Gurd is probably the writer who Gilly think's best uses the lens of food to examine life. His first book, Mother Tongue won the Jane Grigson Trust award for Best Debut, and he has become the word on Third Culture food, prising open the liminal spaces between where we come from and who we can be.


His second book, Flavour Heroes is a lighter read, a pantry book giving us technicolour ways to elevate the simplest dishes with 15 superstar ingredients. After the food world clucked around him over Mother Tongue, Diana Henry calling him boundary breaking, Felicity Cloake dubbing him the Willy Wonka wizard of flavour, Gilly asks him in front of a live audience, how he felt about the notoriously difficult second album. 


Head over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of CTB Live with the Q&A
