Show Notes
This week we’re in Brighton for Cooking the Books live with bean queen, Ali Honour.
The author of Beans describes herself as a chef and food systems agitator, which brings together the best things about beans – how delicious they can be while saving the planet and the health of the nation. In front a live audience of keen beans and bean deniers – let’s call them beanos - we find out why.
