The Food Chain - What do chefs eat?
Ever wondered what the chef is eating? Snacking on the finest produce or surviving on thin air and caffeine?
In this episode Ruth Alexander speaks to three chefs about how they get through the day, and the importance of the ‘family’ or staff meal.
She’s joined by Juliette Feller, a Swiss chef working in London, Marisha Shukla a pastry chef in Bengaluru India, and Sam Grainger, an exec chef and restaurateur in Manchester in England.
