This is a new series in which I talk to people who work with food; there will be chefs, writers, producers, growers and stylists. My first guest is writer and chef Olia Hercules whose new book The Sumer Kitchen is one of the most warmly received of 2020.

In Mavericks I talk to people who have swum against the tide and done something truly unusual and inspiring. From famous comedians to chefs to authors and campaigners, this is about doers and creators. There's no agenda; I just talk to people that will, I hope, interest you.
