Here, Simon talks about his career as a chef before his time on Sunday Brunch, the beauty of live TV, why he loved stepping out of his comfort zone for Strictly Come Dancing and favourite recipes. This episode delves into how Simon's 5am wholesale market trips helped him fall in love with seasonal produce, what food he enjoys cooking at home for his family, the process of writing a cookbook and lots more.
