This week, Gilly's at the home of award-winning recipe writer, author and YouTuber, one of Bake Off's most celebrated winners and mother of 2, Chetna Makan to talk about her new book, Chetna's Indian Feasts. But in this first episode of a special series this summer, we're talking about food through the prism of matrescence, the raw ingredients which make up the heady mix of motherhood and provide the recipe for life. Like adolescence, matrescence shows us a picture of process, and with it an implicit understanding of what that means. Just as adolescents are always adults in training, so matrescents are mothers in training, and that never stops.The word was coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael in 1973 to describe the experience of half the global population but which is barely known, barely discussed, barely acknowledged. On the contrary, we're supposed to know it all the minute we give birth. It's estimated that perinatal mental health problems alone cost the NHS and social services around £1.2 billion annually. Imagine the impact on families and wider society of way post natal mental health issues – the massive lows that come with the roller coaster of emotions of motherhood – at all ages and stages.The aim of this Cooking the Books series is to introduce the word into the national conversation. Chetna is the first of four writers, mothers, matrescents who have much to say on the subject throughout the whole of August.

It's volunteer week at the Food Foundation, and chef, food writer and Bake Off winner, Chetna Makan introduces us to some of the voices from the frontline of food insecurity. The Food Foundation looks for solutions to the growing challenges facing the UK's food system, and presents them to government and private sector. But perhaps its most important contribution is its team of ambassadors, young people and adults with lived experience of many of the issues it campaigns about. We meet the core bloggers on Breadline Voices, Dan White, Dominic Watters and Kathleen Kerridge and learn how the ambassador programme at the Food Foundation has helped them to develop their presenting skills and speak directly to the people who can change policy at the very top of the food chain.

It's our annual Baking Month, and we're kicking things off with some return guests! Back on the show today are Rose Levy Beranbaum and her collaborator-turned-hubby Woody Wolston. They're joining Brian in-studio to talk about their latest work, The Cookie Bible.Episode 147: Rose Levy BeranbaumRose likely needs no introduction to those in the cookbook world. But here's what you need to know:* She published the ground-breaking The Cake Bible in 1988, changing how many home and professional bakers approached the craft. (In particular, Rose helped lead the charge to include the more accurate weight measurements in her recipes instead of just volume.) * The Cake Bible is now in its 60th printing (!!!), and Rose shares some news on what's next for the classic work.* In that time, Rose has penned a dozen other cookbooks, from The Baking Bible to The Bread Bible—and other non-bible titles on ice cream, cakes, Christmas cookies, and more.* Rose's latest cookbook, The Cookie Bible, completes her “quartet of bibles” on cake, pie, bread, and, now, cookies. The book includes every type of cookie you could imagine—from macarons to rolled-and-cut holiday cookies, to sandwich cookies and cookie bars. In this first episode of Baking Month, Rose and Woody join us to discuss the book-making process, their newly minted marriage, and play a cookie-themed game.Two Recipes from The Cookie BibleTo celebrate the launch of Baking Month, today's first recipe for Lemon Lumpies is available to all Substack subscribers for a limited time!

40 years ago the BBC broadcast a new TV cooking series called "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking". It was a first, and showed audiences that Indian food did not rely on curry powder, and that dishes were different depending on what region of India they originated. But that's not all, the series and Madhur Jaffrey's subsequent books (she has written more than 30) had another effect; it made her a model for two generations of women with roots in India. Today Sheila Dillon meets some of those prominent and hugely successful female chefs, restaurateurs, food writers and stylists who are currently working in the UK, to find out about their lives, and what they make of Madhur Jaffrey's legacy. Asma Khan rose to fame when she was chosen as the first British chef to star in the Netflix series, Chef's Table. She runs her London restaurant, Darjeeling Express, with an all-female staff. Chetna Makan worked as a fashion designer in India before moving to the UK. She switched careers after making it to the semi-finals of the Great British Bake Off in 2014. She is now the author of 5 cookery books, and has more than 210,000 subscribers on YouTube. Ravinder Bhogal is a chef, food writer and author of two books. She also runs the London restaurant, Jikoni, which she describes as being “proudly inauthentic”. Romy Gill is a chef, broadcaster and food writer, and was one of the first Asian women in the UK to own her own restaurant. Rukmini Iyer is a food stylist and writer and the author of the bestselling "Roasting Tin" series of books. Sejal Sukhadwala is a London food writer. Her first book "The Philosophy of Curry" has just been published. Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

Bio: "I was born and brought up in a small town in Central India called Jabalpur. I then moved to Mumbai to train as a Fashion Designer in NIFT. After my college, I worked in Mumbai for a few years before moving to the U.K. in 2004. I have always been interested in food and cooking and have been greatly inspired by my mum's cooking who has taught me everything I know about flavours. After having my 2 children I found my interest in baking grow, it was a perfect way for me to relax and found it very relaxing. I am a creative yet meticulous baker and find baking a perfect outlet for my creativity. Trying out new techniques and challenging myself is what keeps me going. Being on Great British Bake Off 2014 has been an amazing journey and has given me the confidence to try new combinations of flavours. I will always cherish this experience and the time I spent in the tent with my fellow bakers. Soon after the show, I started work on my first book which is all about Indian flavours in some very western bakes. The book is called ‘The Cardamom Trail' and was published in 2016. After that, I went on to write my second book called ‘Chai, Chaat and Chutney' which is all about Indian street food from the 4 corners of India. I wrote this book after intensive research into the 4 cities of India to find some of the most delicious street food. This book was published in 2017. My third book ‘Chetna's Healthy Indian' is all about the food I cook at home for my family. It is the quick, delicious and healthy recipes we enjoy to balance out all the cakes I bake. This book was published in 2019. This episode is sponsored by Culinary Historians of Northern California, a Bay Area educational group dedicated to the study of food, drink, and culture in human history.

People living in Seasalter have hit a nerve with those on Sheppey after making a jibe at the island. Residents claims plans to expand a holiday park with more than 90 new mobile homes would make the seaside village near Whitstable 'become like Sheppey'. That's not gone down well with people who call the 'sunkissed isle' home - including our reporter John Nurden. Hear what he had to say. Also in today's podcast, a Kent woman's spoken about being groomed online when she was barely a teenager. 'Chloe' was targeted by men who claimed to be the same age as her. She only realised they were much older when she spoke to them via web-cam. She's now a mum herself, and is urging the government to make child protection a priority in their Online Safety Bill. We've been finding out what work is being done in Maidstone to tackle fly-tippers. There were almost 3,000 cases in the county town last year - that's more than 8 reports every day. And, as Bake Off returns to our screens tonight, we've been catching up with Chetna Makan from Broadstairs who made the semi-finals back in 2014.

You might remember her cardamom-pistachio Swiss rolls from the Great British Baking Show, or the orange savarin that blew Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood away. But in her new book, Chetna Makan is moving from all the butter and sugar onto another topic: Healthy Indian. We talked about daily baking habits, canned chickpeas, and why her black lentil recipe is better than her mom’s. She also told the story of a recent Great British Baking Showreunion at a wedding that involved not one, but 10 cakes.Later on the show, we grill TASTE contributor Max Falkowitz with a hard-hitting question about hot dogs.

My guest today is Chetna Makan. You may remember Chetna from The Great British Bake Off Season 5 where she made it through to the semi-finals and really stood out for her exciting use of flavour, creativity with her dishes and the fact that many of these dishes were completely new to her. She has gone on to write three cookbooks all showcasing the food of India in different and exciting ways. She has her own successful Youtube Channel “Food with Chetna” where she shares her love of cooking all inspired by Indian cuisine. Of Indian food Chetna says: Many people still think of Indian food as unhealthy takeaways or elaborate tedious recipes to prepare. I want to show that everyday Indian food, as I cook in my own kitchen, can be extremely delicious while being easy to prepare and healthy”. Hope you’re all well and that you’ve had a lovely week. If you haven’t yet left a 5* rating now is your moment! It makes such a difference and I really love reading your reviews! This was the first episode we have recorded at my house and Chetna came over armed with Portuguese custard tarts which are the way to my heart – and we drank tea from teacups. All this to say this it was very sophisticated. We nibbled on brownies and custard tarts as we chatted with the Spring sunshine pouring through the window. (I think it’s always nice to set the scene a little isn’t it??)

Happy New Year and welcome to Season 2 of the Keep It Quirky podcast! Most podcasts this time are year are helping you plan out your ideal year, your ideal career, your ideal life, right?! Well, this episode's guest has a different theory.... I’m thrilled to kick off Season 2 with Chetna Makan, who captured everyone's heart and rose to stardom from her appearance on The Great British Bake Off ('The Great British Baking Show' in the US). If you know Chetna from the show, you'll be surprised to hear that for most of her life, Chetna never baked! She lived in Mumbai and didn't even have an oven....but food has always played an important role in her life, (even back when she was a bigwig in the fashion industry in her former career path). In our conversation, Chetna talks about how she could’ve never planned any of what has happened in her life, and how and why she prefers it that way. "I've always lived in the moment. Why would I plan anything?!" She talks about her experiences shooting Great British Bake Off, and also shares her marriage advice for me :) as well as her daughter's oh-so scientific theory of the "3 stomachs." Chetna is now the host of the successful YouTube channel, Food With Chetna, and has published two books, with a third one ‘Chetna’s Healthy Indian,’ out January 31, 2019! Here's the YouTube video Chetna and I shot together of Egg Chops (i.e. Indian Scotch Eggs) --- https://youtu.be/AY3aCElDoRg Sign up for my E-Newsletter (by Jan 26 for a chance to win 3 cookbooks!) by going here: http://eepurl.com/dNtAx2 --Chetna Makan-- Instagram & Twitter // @chetnamakan YouTube // Food With Chetna -- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1VkNUPA6ieOuwXmk4SSJZw --keep it quirky-- @keepitquirkypodcast - instagram @qkatie - katie quinn on instagram & twitter www.youtube.com/TheQKatie www.facebook.com/TheQKatie See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
