Dan Saladino is one of those rare gems you meet who really change your outlook on life. The journalist and broadcaster, best known for fronting BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme knows everything there is to know about food.

He has a new book out “Eating to Extinction: The World’s Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them”, which details unbelievably interesting stories about some of the most endangered foods around the globe, such as a wheat found in Turkey, a particular honey found in Tanzania, and something we all know about – wild Atlantic salmon.

His Italian heritage played a huge part in his youth, and Dan speaks so eloquently about his childhood summers in Italy. This led us onto the all-important topic of pizza and what should and shouldn’t be on a pizza!

I could have spent hours with Dan, but this episode perfectly encapsulates him and his wonderful world of food!
