04.01.2022 CULINARY TRAVEL What do you immediately think of when you hear the term 'Irish food'? Stereotypically it's often thought to be potatoes, bacon & cabbage and stew but there is so much more to it than that. Acclaimed chef Jp McMahon dispels the myths surrounding Irish cuisine, delving into the country's culinary history and its varied influences, from Viking settlers to French conquerors. Ireland enjoys a rich food heritage dating back thousands of years, and as Jp says, its food is the summation of what the land and sea gives, and nothing more. Through 450 recipes, McMahon celebrates the heritage and quality of Ireland's ingredients, from oysters and seaweed on its West Coast to beef and lamb from its pastures, and mushrooms, elderflowers, and rose hips foraged from the hedgerows.

01.01.2022 TRAVEL THE WORLDONE BOOK AT A TIME Today we’re travelling to Poland with travel writer Ben Aitken. In 2016 Ben moved to Poland to understand why the Poles were leaving. He booked the cheapest flight from the UK he could find, to a place he had never heard of - Poznan. This candid, funny and off-beat book is the account of his year in Poland, as an unlikely immigrant. Between peeling potatoes and boning fish, Ben spent time on the road travelling the country. He missed the b...us to Auschwitz; stayed with a dozen nuns near Krakow; was offered a job by a Eurosceptic farmer and went to Gdansk to learn how Solidarity rose and communism fell. This is a bittersweet portrait of an unsung country, challenging stereotypes that Poland is a grey, ex-soviet land, and revealing a diverse country, rightfully proud of its colourful identity.
