Whitstable

Jay Rayner hosts the first in a new series of BBC Radio 4's culinary panel programme, The Kitchen Cabinet, recorded in the seaside town of Whitstable in Kent.

For the first time renowned Michelin star rated chef Angela Hartnett joins the team alongside previous panellists: Rachel McCormack, the Glaswegian cook who is also an expert on Catalan cooking, Tim Hayward, the acclaimed food critic, writer, and broadcaster and Dr Annie Gray, the food historian specialising in Georgian and Victorian dining.
