In our final episode of 2021, Steve is urging everyone to see Steven Spielberg's new version of West Side Story and manages a very neat segue to National Theatre's At Home streaming service and Lin-Manuel Miranda's film directoral debut, Tick Tick Boom!

Meanwhile, Charlotte has been holding her Christmas wreath classes, to great success.  Steve even attended one and found his creative flair!

Having both been in London for a few days, Charlotte and Steve are full of the Christmas spirit!  They discuss the huge growth of advent calendars and some of the many options now available.  Thoughts are also turning to planning for big family events and they look at what to think about, menu planning and what to cook in advance plus what are their go-to Christmas recipe books.

With Steve sporting a black eye and Charlotte full of cold, the pair have had to deal with power outages, road closures and technical issues to put this episode together!

The first book from Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, Shelf Love, is our cookbook of the week and we discuss mushrooms - apparently there are over 15,000 varieties in the UK alone.

Charlotte talks about where she gets her plant inspiration and seeds from including well-known growers such as Sarah Raven, Chiltern Seeds, David Austin Roses and Halls of Heddon, alongside smaller specialist sweet pea growers including Somerset Sweet Peas, Roger Parsons and Swan Cottage Flowers.

This episode, Steve and Charlotte are joined by Sasha Dorey, the Truffle Huntress.  In a wide ranging interview, Sasha gives a fascinating insight into the world of the elusive delicacy, how she hunts for truffles with her dogs and her favourite ways to use truffles.

Steve has become obsessed with the award-winning hit US TV show, Succession and the pair discuss the complexities of some of the Great British Bake Off technical challenges.  Filo pastry, anyone?!

With Halloween fast approaching, Charlotte is on a mission to convince Steve of the culinary delights of pumpkins and squash.  She is also encouraging a reevaluation of the much maligned chrysanthemum.

Plus, using Dorling Kindersley's The Preserving Book as our guide, we look at different ways of preserving fruit and veg.

And Steve is full of love and joy having recently attended a very special wedding.
