Brigade Bar + Kitchen are our special guests in the studio - During lockdown chef-founder Simon Boyle and the team launched a charity cookbook and prepared over 3,500 meals for vulnerable Londoners
Brigade employs disadvantaged, often homeless, adults and trains them up to work in the hospitality sector. In January the team took on their latest cohort of apprentice chefs to undertake a paid, two-year, fully qualified apprenticeship at the restaurant.
Feast With Purpose, a charity cookbook includes over 130 recipes from the likes of Michel Roux Jr., Tom Kerridge, Pru Leith, James Martin, Chris King, Adam Handling and Rick Stein.
We look at cheap eats at Pizza Pilgrims on Shoreditch High Street, far eastern adventures at Rosa's Thai Kitchen in Spitalfields and Porridge Radio up for the Mercury Music Prize.
Ahead of Sober October we explore Salcombe Gin's New London Light 0% plus West Berkshire Brewing's amazing range 'Zero' which is my current favourite non alcoholic beer.
