Our Christmas Day special programme is devoted to the Brussels sprout, with some incredible women for whom they're playing a key role in their working lives. As a nation we eat more sprouts than any other country in Europe but it's a vegetable that, like marmite, divides opinion. Originally from the Middle East, they came to Europe as an export of the Roman Empire. We hear how they became known as Brussels sprouts with the head of the Royal Horticultural Society Clare Matterson and the food historian Dr Sue Bailey. Plant pathologist Dr Lauren Chappell and the brassica research expert Dr Rachel Wells explain how sprouts are being engineered to taste sweeter and withstand climate change. Nutritionist Charlotte Hunter says the phytoestrogens in these mini cabbages mean women should be eating more of them. And for ideas about how to cook your sprouts, chef and broadcaster Andi Oliver and her daughter Miquita are on hand, as well as the chef Rosalind Rathouse.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Studio Manager Neva Missirian

This week I head on a sartorial journey with Broadcaster Miquita Oliver. Growing up in West London and the niece of Neneh Cherry, Miquita was surrounded by the music world …she was recruited at the tender age of 16 to present Channel 4's cult Sunday morning pop culture show, Popworld, with Simon Amstell. In 2022 Miquita and her mother, TV chef and presenter Andi Oliver, featured in a BBC television series The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita. Starting out in Antigua, where they met members of their extended family, reconnected with their Antiguan heritage, and illuminated the island's history and culture…And most recently Andi and Miquita have appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox together. What drew me to invite Miquita on as a guest is that she has had a lifelong passion for second-hand shopping which has crystallised in recent years into a commitment to buying almost exclusively second-hand … and her stories are both endearing and inspiring…she has an encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion. I hope you will enjoy our chat as much as I did.

Jay Rayner and the panel visit Eastbourne. Jordan Bourke, Melek Erdal, Andi Oliver and Professor Barry Smith answer the questions. This week, the panellists divulge their tips for peeling an egg, share recipes for their favourite alcoholic sorbets and ice creams, and recommend dishes for those overripe bananas. Inspired by guest Richard James from Rathfinny Wine Estate, Professor Barry Smith leads the team in an experiment that'll test how to identify a good fizzy wine, and Banoffee Pie inventor Ian Dowding shares the origin story behind this yummy desert. Producer - Daniel Cocker Assistant Producer - Aniya Das A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
Presenter, comedian and actor Jayde Adams joins Andi Oliver this week to discuss a mutual favourite dim sum dish: cheung fun. These steamed rice noodle rolls filled with pork, prawns or other delicious things weren't familiar to Jayde until relatively recently. Although she grew up with a close family connection to Chinese cooking, it was her mum who introduced her to the joys of dim sum in a Chinatown restaurant on a visit to London. Andi and Jayde learn about the extensive history in China of cooking with rice noodles like this, and also about the interesting possibility that the dish may have evolved in the absence of another ingredient. Kimberley Wilson explains the science behind why this type of steamed noodle dish remains delightfully chewy and bouncy despite not containing any gluten. And you'll never guess what technological innovation Jayde's planning to install in her new kitchen; probably no use for making her own dim sum though!

Andi Oliver is joined this week by musician and actor Jordan Stephens and he's brought a dish that's close to both of their hearts: ackee and saltfish with dumplings. It's a Jamaican national dish beloved in Britain by people from all parts of the African and Caribbean diaspora. During Jordan's childhood it was a crucial part of the Guyanese buffet at Stephens family sports days in North London parks. Neither ackee nor saltfish originated in the Caribbean, so how did they end up on a plate together there? Jordan and Andi explore the history of the dish and its connection to the transatlantic slave trade, as well as how food intersects with the complex experience of Black British Caribbean identity. And there's a cautionary scientific tale from Kimberley Wilson, on how surprisingly dangerous ackee can be if not handled correctly.

Presenter and former Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing meets Andi Oliver this week, and he's talking about his mum's Thai chicken noodle soup. Jamie grew up with underwhelming boarding school food; piles of sausages and meat and two veg. But his mum's passion for cooking meant that when he went back home his mealtimes were much more exciting. Andi enlightens Jamie on the origins of his dish: actually a Ken Hom recipe for a Northern Thai dish called Khao Soi which originated from historic Chinese and Burmese migration into Thailand. They consider the varied global forms of chicken soup, why chicken thighs taste more of happiness than boneless skinless chicken breast and what the pungent savoury notes of fish sauce add to this soup. Plus Kimberley Wilson looks into whether there's any peer-reviewed scientific evidence for it being more than just comfort food…can chicken soup cure the common cold?

Lucky Simon ...Arguably the finest chef the UK has ever produced, Marco walks us through his career in intoxicating style, from his humble beginnings in Leeds to spearheading the restaurant revolution on these shores in the late 80s and beyond. He stepped away from the kitchen at 38, but did more in his relatively short stint in professional kitchens than most dream of achieving in a lifetime, You can watch him prepare his surf and turf dish on a Weber Genesis barbecue at weber.com/grilling - along with recipes by Yotam Ottolenghi, Andi Oliver and John Torode.

Cookbook author, restaurateur and chef Asma Khan is Andi Oliver's guest on One Dish on this episode, and she's brought one of the most important dishes in her life to the table: kala channa. This stewed, spiced black chickpea dish from India is one traditionally eaten in Asma's family after fasting during Ramadan - although Asma prefers to start with a few samosas first. Andi and Asma talk about the history of kala channa as an important crop in India, reflect on how access to Indian ingredients has improved over the past couple of decades, and reveal the difference using fresh garam masala can make to the dish. Plus Kimberley Wilson is on hand to explain the science of expanding ‘magic' dried beans. Asma also shares a great tip for building up the deeply flavoured layers of heat in her Kala Channa, and admits a surprising thing she loves to do with the leftovers.

Comedian and co-host of the hit food podcast Off Menu Ed Gamble is in the studio this week. He's making the case to Andi Oliver for one of his all time favourite things to eat: a cheeseboard. Crunchy cheddar, a soft goat, a cheese of giants (Comté) and a real stinky blue: these are all essential components of Ed's dream board. To Andi's horror, he's not bothered about the ‘fripperies' that surround the cheese on a board - but Kimberley Wilson's here to explain the science behind why eating sweet and savoury things together is so satisfying for (most of) us. Plus, Andi and Ed learn that our current cheeseboard construction has more to do with Russian than French dining convention, and are shocked to hear what Wensleydale is hiding about its true self.

It's a welcome return to the podcast for Andi Oliver, who not only joined Simon in a beautiful West London home for a chat - but also to cook her delicious bush tea brined tamarind molasses barbecue chicken on a Weber Genesis Barbecue. For that's what we're asking our guests to do in this latest season of Grilling - and you can watch the video HERE, as well as the one with our previous guest, Yotam Ottolenghi. Among the subjects up for discussion with Andi are her culinary heritage, growing up in the RAF, the origins of jerk chicken, and what she and her best pal Neneh Cherry would make for Simon if he ever popped round for dinner.

Baker, cookbook author and former GBBO star Benjamina Ebuehi is sharing her One Dish with Andi Oliver this week, and she's gone for a classic: carrot cake. Benjamina's brought a spectacular cake made to her own recipe and Andi's wondering if there's nutmeg in it, but in fact it's spiced instead with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, as well as one more - slightly unexpected - ingredient. This cake holds lots of memories for Benjamina after she started out baking in her teens. Carrot cake seemed so much more sophisticated than cupcakes, and became a firm favourite at her family functions. Its origins more broadly can be traced back to 10th century Middle Eastern puddings, with some surprising twists and turns along the way. While the cake is now considered to be an US import in the UK due to its use of oil rather than the more traditional butter, that cross-Atlantic relationship is more complex than you might think. Plus Kimberley Wilson explains the relationship between sugar and stress: explaining why so many of our comfort foods are sweet.
