RED TALKS

Show Notes

Our debut guest on RED TALKS is the incredible Chef Tom Kerridge. He's got multiple Michelin stars to his name and has a slew of TV credits to his name including; Great British Menu, MasterChef, Saturday Kitchen, How to Lose Weight For Good, Bake Off: Crème de la Crème and Food and Drink.

Red Richardson grills Tom to find out the key lessons he's learned that have taken him to the top of the food game. From his favourite inspirational quote, to what he considers his greatest nemesis as well as the all important Morning Routine.

We hear about how Liam Gallagher once moonwalked in his kitchen (and puked on his trainers), what it was like gorwing up near Fred West, the rivalries between chefs , how he gave up alcohol after previously drinking 14 pints nightly (2 Pints of Negroni, washed down with 12 Stellas, naturally) and losing 12 stone.
