About this episode

Jay Rayner and a panel of expert chefs, cooks and food writers are in Milton Keynes sharing their top tricks and recipes with an audience of home cooks.

Joining Jay to discuss barbecued desserts and paneer recipes are baker and writer Nadiya Hussain, food historian Dr Annie Gray, writer Tim Hayward, and chef Sophie Wright.

The panellists discuss what they’d serve at a roadside food truck and their favourite recipes involving medjool dates, and debate whether brioche buns belong on burgers. They also suggest ways to use up leftover sourdough and share their ultimate recipes for a steak sandwich.

Jay stops to chat to Alain Vivion of Brioche Pasquier about the history, method and flavour of traditional brioche.
