Just one week until my Last Supper show Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere, #Cumbria . What would you last meal on earth be? Would it involve butterscotch Angel Delight? Or oysters? Or both? Nov 10. 7.30pm oldlaundrytheatre.co.uk/event/my-last-…

Farewell to the great Gael Greene. I worked with her on two series of Top Chef Masters in 2009, and she was the joyous epitome of the sassy dame: sharp, brilliantly acerbic, suffered no one gladly, but hugely informed, witty and underneath the hat and all, a total delight.

Let’s go #OutToLunch . This time I take the great Corinne Bailey Rae to Tamil Prince for fab South Indian cooking. We discuss hanging out with Prince, being yourself, old friendships and the best bus trip ever. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/out…

Theory based on nothing: Sunak never wanted to appoint Braverman Home Sec, but had to do so to get the backing of her followers, or theyd have gone to Johnson. He appointed her knowing full well she was her own worst enemy and would probably end up having to quit v quickly.

On a Nextflix cooking show I once described a chef's offering as 'the sausage of doom'. Hence I feel a certain fellowship with Paul.

And the final performance of My Last Supper outside London is Old Laundry Theatre Bowness-On-Windermere, #Cumbria on November 10. Down to the last few for that. Come discuss your last meals on earth with me. oldlaundrytheatre.co.uk/event/my-last-…

My review of Jinseon Korean BBQ in Coventry makes much of the use of coals but there are no pics of said coals on the piece. So have a few here. And one of a croffle with a ceramic polar bear.

This week’s review: coals to Coventry at Jinseon, a Korean BBQ restaurant offering real depth and real fun. With thanks to Ellen Manning for the tip. theguardian.com/food/2022/oct/…

Farewell to the very great Joyce Molyneux. Her contribution to Britain's WW2 food culture really can't be overstated. theguardian.com/food/2022/oct/…

It is an honour to be the subject of Crap Portraits competition. My votes. Most crap: 1. Looks like my late mother with a beard. Least crap: 7. Bravo. Most amusing. 13. It’s how I want to be remembered.

My two last supper shows before Christmas Crazy Coqs are now sold out. The final show for which there are tickets, before I retire it, is Old Laundry Theatre Bowness-on-Windermere, #Cumbria on November 10. oldlaundrytheatre.co.uk/event/my-last-…

For the new season of #OutToLunch subscribers, who pay £1.79 a month, get all episodes ad-free plus a weekly extra bite in which I ask my guest of the week six key questions. This time it’s Loyle. (All main episodes of course remain free). podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/out…

This is a great thing to do. At the same time it is deeply depressing, and a mark of where we are, that it's considered necessary.

Just a reminder to those with tickets for tomorrow night’s Kitchen Cabinet record. Because we don’t charge for tickets we oversubscribe, expecting significant no shows and almost always get it right. Tomorrow is fully subscribed. And it is 1st come first served. Doors at 6pm.

Just... I... but... oh.

We've just released the last four tickets for this Friday's JR Sextet gig @crazycoqs. 9.15pm. Get em while they're hot, and so on. brasseriezedel.com/events/the-jay…

Let’s go #OutToLunch . This time I sit down over some great Italian food SAN CARLO CICCHETTI with rapper and hip hop artist Ben Coyle-Larner AKA Loyle. We discuss the beauty of neurodiversity, making pasta and dreams of being a restaurant critic. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/out…
