The Good Food podcast
Baker and author Edd Kimber — the first-ever winner of The Great British Bake Off — joins us to talk about his latest book Chocolate Baking, which puts one of our favourite ingredients centre stage. Edd shares the fascinating history of chocolate, from Mayan drinking rituals to modern bean-to-bar innovation, and explains why chocolate doesn't always have to be the dominant flavour in a recipe.
We also dig into the ethics and economics of chocolate pricing, Edd's obsession with tonka beans, his mum's apple crumble (and why the jammy middle layer is the best bit), and what makes a truly perfect chocolate chip cookie. Plus, Edd opens up about navigating life after reality TV, the challenges of being defined by a single moment, and the Nigella announcement.
