Unforgettable conversation. Chef and writer Jeremy Lee — the beloved face of Quo Vadis in Soho — takes us deep into the story of modern British cooking, creativity, and the art that connects them all. From Elizabeth David’s revolutionary food writing to Fergus Henderson’s nose-to-tail philosophy, Jeremy paints a vivid picture of how Britain’s culinary culture transformed from postwar blandness to global influence.

Along the way, he recalls his early years with Terence Conran, the visionary designer who turned dining into an art form, and shares intimate memories of icons like Anthony Bourdain, AA Gill, and Alastair Little — the “rockstar chef” who changed everything.

Full of warmth, humour, and wisdom, this episode explores how food, design, and storytelling intertwine to create culture — and why the best meals are still about generosity, imperfection, and joy.

If you care about British food, restaurant history, creativity, or the people who built the scene we know today — this is a must-watch.
