Good Food

Join host Samuel Goldsmith every Tuesday as he chats with cooks, chefs, and food lovers. In each episode, Samuel dives into a sparkling conversation about the guest's life, their journey in the food and drink world, and, of course, their passion for food. Expect plenty of laughs, life lessons, and unforgettable stories from the people behind the plates.

The fun doesn't stop there! Tune in for sections like My Favourite Dish, where the guest discusses their favourite dishes and how they've made them their own, Cookery Confessions, where guests share their funniest kitchen mishaps and culinary secrets, and Quick Fire Questions, a rapid round of surprises that reveal more about their tastes and quirks.

 Plus, on Thursdays, get a taste of new recipes in our bonus episodes—easy-to-follow cook-alongs to bring the flavours of the conversation to your kitchen.
