Nick Grimshaw Makes A Cheese Toasty
In this opening episode of her brand new podcast, chef and food writer Anna Barnett, sits down with Radio 1 and TV presenter (not forgetting GQ’s Best Dressed Man 2014) Nick Grimshaw to discuss his childhood food memories growing up in Oldham, his after-dinner trumpet playing, how moving to London set him on a course for his dream job, and the contents of his well-stocked fridge. Tomatillo relish, anyone? Oh, and Nick also personally makes Anna his sandwich of choice. What will it be? And, more importantly, will it be any good?
