  • Chicken curry episode

    I never cook curry because I think it sounds so complicated, but this makes it sounds easy and fun. And alongside it, a fascinating and profoundly human conversation about death, dying and undertaking. Definitely recommend listening.

  • What a treat!

    I have followed Claire for years and use her recipes as staples in my menu rotation at home. I love her videos as they show me just how quick and easy a delicious meal can be. Listening to Claire chat with her guests and make them feel at ease is like eavesdropping on old friends!

  • I just love it.

    I feel like I’m sitting in with my kinda people, chatting food, chucking stuff in. I love the Tupperware chat, vegan, veggie, carne options.

    Absolutely love it. Can I join them and just do their sides?! Love it. Love Claire’s instagram and her books. I delve in when I get a new one on my reading chair and I scratch notes and ideas for weekly meal plans on my A4 lined pad. Whack it all in. Enjoy. We need Claire in BBC radio 2.
