Brand new episode is out for your delightful ears!It is obvious given that I often explore historical food themes, that I usually talk about food in time. But what about time IN food?In the 60s the average US house-wife would spend 112 minutes per day in the kitchen. In 2008 this figure was down to 66 minutes per day. A survey in 2022 in the UK found that “the most time consuming chore is cooking. The average Brit spends 253 minutes per week in the kitchen cooking meals. That's the equivalent of 219 hours per year” and also went on “On top of this, we spend an average of 98 minutes a week washing up, which equates to 85 hours a year and 170 days in our lifetime. That's a lot of time spent in the kitchen.” Feelings of time scarcity are increasingly widespread in industrialised societies. People are fulfilling a multitude of roles, possess an array of material goods, and want to get the most out of their leisure time, all of which influence feelings of not having enough time to get everything done. Time scarcity, or lack of time, is one of the major drivers of ultra-processed food consumption. This time crunch forces people to rely on ultra-processed foods that are ready to heat or ready to eat to buy back time. Overall, this time scarcity is an issue faced by the primary food shoppers, preparers and givers, who are disproportionately women across the globe.My guest today Jenny Linford is a food writer, author and passionate advocate of many many artisanal food producers, cooks, farmers and so on. People who put all their time to create some amazing food for us, to feed us and keep us alive but also for something more important I think. Because food, eating together and eating well is part of what we are. So today, we are discussing these themes from Jenny's past book, "The Missing Ingredient -The Curious Role of Time in Food and Flavour" which is of course -as the title suggests!- about the role of time in food. And time is crucial, not just in the home kitchen…but throughout the whole process of growing, maturing, fermenting, distributing the food. She explores through a series of essays the interconnected and important nature of this underappreciated ingredient from seconds to years. Together we will try and bring a much needed appreciation of the patience that is required and perhaps have a pause and bring time to cooking and eating. We had a fascinating discussion which I hope you'll enjoy!You can buy Jenny's book here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/17049/9780141982816"Everything that we eat is part of a cultural legacy that we've inherited" - Sandor Katz, Fermentation revivalistLove,ThomProducers, cooks and artisans mentioned on this episode:England Preserves: https://englandpreserves.co.uk/pages/about-usThe Wasabi Company: https://www.thewasabicompany.co.uk/Claire Clark: https://claire-clark.com/about/Mrs. Kirkham's Lancashire Cheese: https://www.mrskirkhamscheese.co.uk/CJ Jackson: https://www.kentseafood.com/https://www.waterstones.com/book/great-british-seafood-revival/cj-jackson/steve-lee/9781913159856Friis Holm: https://friisholmchokolade.dk/?srsltid=AfmBOoqomjPiETgdr3pM0wV93pZnJQb5y_byfo-IG04kMinDxfD9RToOBest woodfire socca: https://www.chezpipo.fr/enMusic by Pavlos KapralosSupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Innovation in food is often overcomplicated. At its core, it comes back to whether people will actually buy your product more than once. In this conversation, Scott shares the journey of Flava People, from its roots in butchery through to becoming a leading product development business. It is a story shaped by constant adaptation, changing consumer habits, and learning through experience. We talk about the shift in how people cook and eat. Time pressure, convenience, and “occasion-led” eating are shaping behaviour more than traditional categories. People still want to feel like they have cooked, but they also want it to be quick, simple, and realistic. A big theme in this episode is the danger of assumptions. It is easy for teams to convince themselves that consumers use products in a certain way, but when those assumptions are wrong, the consequences are clear. Products sit on shelves and do not repeat. Scott shares examples of where this has happened, and why even strong ideas can fail if they are not grounded in real-life behaviour. We also get into the commercial reality of food retail. The economics are tough. Cash flow matters. Rates of sale matter. And getting listed is not the finish line many believe it to be. There is also a focus on creativity and discipline. Great ideas matter, but they need to be balanced with a strong understanding of the basics. Flavour, format, and convenience consistently outperform overcomplicated concepts. For anyone working in product development or leading teams, this episode is a reminder to stay close to the customer, focus on what really matters, and not get distracted by trends at the expense of fundamentals.

It is a powerful biological signal, and the food processing industry has understood this far longer than we have.We go deep on the five tastes — salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami — and on why ultra-processed food has been so effective at training us toward intense sweetness while stripping out complexity. Sherry argues that bitterness isn't a flaw to engineer out; it's the missing piece tied to polyphenols, antioxidants, detoxification, glucose metabolism, and satiety. The good news: chefs already know how to balance bitter with umami, fat, protein, and spice. We don't all need to go to culinary school — we just need to borrow a few of their moves.We also take apart the "chocolate steak syndrome": the fitness industry has built an entire pipeline of protein products with steak-level nutrition engineered to taste like chocolate and in doing so, trained a generation to completely ignore what flavour is actually telling them. For investors and brand builders, Sherry has a practical provocation: if a product claiming to be regenerative needs five or six flavourings on the label, it's almost certainly masking the low quality of what's underneathMore topics covered: the five tastes framework and what each signals biologically; why bitter links to immune function, glucose metabolism, and detoxification; how non-nutritive sweeteners disrupt the microbiome.Thoughts?

In this final Women Changing the World episode, AJ Sharp sits down with chef and restaurateur Ayesha Kalaji to talk about building a career on her own terms, from studying Middle Eastern politics to earning four consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmands at Queen of Cups in Glastonbury. They get into the realities of being a woman in professional kitchens, the outdated stereotypes that still linger, and why real change in hospitality has to come from within. Ayesha also shares how she went from working in other people's kitchens to opening her own restaurant, staying fiercely true to herself, and turning joy, warmth and bold flavour into her signature style. It's a brilliant conversation about resilience, identity, leadership and what happens when you stop trying to fit the mould and build your own table instead.

Tony Tan's parents pinned their hopes on him when they sent him from home in Malaysia to Melbourne to become a white collar professional in the 1970s. There he found “funny smelling cigarettes”, a lovely man called Terry and a destiny he couldn't escape.Tony was exposed to deep, rich flavour and the precision of cooking from a young age.His mother was a chef in Malaysian colonial kitchens and Tony would often accompany her to work, where he would sometimes receive a single golden, dripping roasted potato, or pinch the meat from a leftover kitchen carcass.He was a precocious child — known as Little Chilli — always wanting to know how certain cooking techniques worked. His parents didn't want him to follow them into the world of food, so they sent him to study at university in Melbourne, with hopes that he would ascend to the world of white collar work on behalf of the family.He had his first introduction to Lygon Street in the 1970s, and university couldn't keep him away from the world of food.Further informationTony Tan's most recent cook book, Tony Tan's Asian Cooking Class is published by Murdoch Books.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Why do certain spices and dishes show up far from their origins, and how can tracing these cultural "foodways" change the way we think about wine and food pairing? Why did Cha create her own flavour wheel rather than rely on traditional wine-tasting vocabulary? How can expanding your flavour vocabulary through travel, food, and culture help us describe wine in ways that feel relatable? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Cha McCoy, author of the new book Wine Pairing for the People. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Cha McCoy's terrific new book, Wine Pairing for the People: The Communion of Wine, Food, and Culture from Africa and Beyond. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights Which one of Cha's wine and food pairings might receive the most pushback from traditionalists? What does cultural terroir mean? How do cultural factors influence a country's wine preferences and the wine styles it produces? Why does Brazil's vibrant culture make sparkling wine such a natural fit? What are foodways, and how does the journey of ingredients and dishes inform the cultural connections between food and wine pairings across continents? How did Cha navigate pairing wines for Senegalese dishes when her formal training had not prepared her for those flavours? Why does Cha recommend rich, aromatic white wines for onion and garlic-heavy dishes? How did tasting local drinks expand Cha's wine vocabulary and approach to wine education for diverse audiences? Why did Cha create her own flavour wheel that included references and descriptors that differ from traditional industry flavour wheels? How can building a personal flavour wheel help drinkers trust their own palates and avoid feeling intimidated by industry jargon? What change would Cha make to wine education to make it more globally inclusive?   Key Takeaways Why do certain spices and dishes show up far from their origins, and how can tracing these cultural "foodways" change the way we think about wine and food pairing? You'll see Peri Peri often, and you're nowhere near South Africa, which says a lot about foodways. That act of tracing it back is the foodways. Why did Cha create her own flavour wheel rather than rely on traditional wine-tasting vocabulary? The flavour wheel is commonly used in beginner wine classes to help folks navigate deductive tasting. Why would I start throwing in references that I don't use and smell often? Let's say saffron, turmeric, these are spices that are in my spice cabinet because I cook with them. I find them in wine, even though the WSET vocabulary doesn't use them. You can build your own flavour wheel. How can expanding your flavour vocabulary through travel, food, and culture help us describe wine in ways that feel relatable? Visiting Turkey and Morocc, made Cha understand their drinking culture. Knowing what that background is helps her explain wines that were… I can translate this wine, knowing that fact about them, or in a restaurant that I know, or a chef making a dish that's related to this. I wanted to stay away from using vocabularies that is not, you know, if I'm talking to my demographic, I know where they're from, and I know what they're drinking, or I know what they're eating. And so when you are traveling, immersed in fruits and juices, different ways that you can have that. And now it adds to your own lexicon.     About Cha McCoy Cha McCoy, MBA, is an entrepreneur, educator, event producer, and author. As a certified sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers, she developed The Communion, a wine dinner series that offers an inviting, accessible approach to gathering and enjoying wine. This experience inspired her to open her first retail space, The Communion Wine & Spirits. The dinner series was profiled in Food & Wine, and Cha was named one of Wine Enthusiast's 40 Under 40. Her work continues through her highly anticipated book, Wine Pairing for the People: The Communion of Wine, Food, and Culture from Africa and Beyond, available now for pre-order and scheduled for release in November.

Is flavour just a sensory experience? Or the secret key to eating for health? In this episode, Spencer Hyman, flavour expert and co-founder of Cocoa Runners, joins Professor Tim Spector, world-leading scientist in nutrition and gut health, to uncover how the food industry manipulates taste to make us overeat, and how rediscovering real flavour could transform our wellbeing. Spencer reveals the fascinating science of flavour and why we “taste” with our noses, how chocolate became the world's first hyper-palatable food, and why modern diets are full of fake flavours designed to make us eat faster. Tim explains how “big food” exploits the brain's reward system to override fullness signals, creating products that keep us hooked - and what we can do to fight back. For listeners curious about how to rebuild a healthy relationship with food, this episode includes a practical guide to retraining your taste buds. Spencer and Tim share tips on how to eat more slowly, savour each bite, and use flavour as a natural marker of nutrient-rich, satisfying foods.

Self-confessed crisp lover Ruth Alexander traces the story of the crisp or potato chip, starting with a tasting experience matching fine wines and “rubbish crisps” at a wine bar in the northern English city of Manchester. With the help of journalist and crisp historian Natalie Whittle, Ruth finds out about the commercial beginnings of the potato chip in the fine dining rooms of nineteenth century New York. She meets the chef who travels the world searching for new taste sensations to develop into a packet of crisps for snack giant Frito-Lays. Can you guess which flavours nearly, but not quite, made it onto the shelves? Ruth also talks to salty snack expert Jolene Ng of Mintel, who researches the role crisps play in modern life. And with Japan renowned for its unusual flavours, Ruth meets Makoto Ehara, the boss of one of the country's biggest potato chip makers Calbee, who tells her about the threat climate change poses to the future of the potato chip industry.
