Jay Rayner and the panel are in Newport, Wales offering their best culinary advice. Joining Jay are Angela Gray, Jocky Petrie, Jordan Bourke and food historian Dr Annie Gray.
The panellists share their favourite recipes involving figs and their fuss-free ways to spice up a home-cooked meal, and attempt to cure one audience member of his aversion to fishcakes.
We also hear from local chef Sergio Cinotti of Gem42 and Gemelli restaurants about how Roman flavours have influenced his cooking - be it libum bread or garum sauce.
