Belfast

Jay Rayner hosts the first episode in the new series of BBC Radio 4's culinary panel programme, recorded at the MAC Theatre in Belfast.

Tackling the audience's culinary concerns are food-writer and restaurateur Tim Hayward; Glaswegian cook and expert on Catalan cooking, Rachel McCormack; chef and food-writer Sophie Wright, and The Kitchen Cabinet's resident food historian Dr Annie Gray.

The panel discuss, among other things, the best way to cook duck, the virtues of electric versus gas cookers, the perfect potato salad recipe and the rights and wrongs of squirty cream.

Local chef and broadcaster, BBC Radio Ulster's Paula McIntyre, talks the team through Northern Irish soda farls, an Ulster Fry and, of course, the potato.

Food Consultant: Anna Colquhoun.

Produced by Peggy Sutton.
A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
