Download Chipping Campden

Jay Rayner and a panel of chefs, cooks and food writers are in Chipping Campden answering questions from an audience of eager home cooks. Joining Jay are materials expert, Dr Zoe Laughlin, chefs Tim Hayward and Angela Gray, and resident food historian Dr Annie Gray.

The panel offer their favourite salad dressing recipes and their most unconventional uses of bacon, and discuss the strangest thing they’ve ever eaten. Warning - it’s weirder than you think!

Situated in Chipping Campden, the home of Robert Welch, we hear from Company Archivist, Charlotte Booth about the history of their iconic designs. Annie also answers the intriguing question, which came first, the knife or the fork?
