This week, we’re joined by the brilliantly warm and wildly talented Rosie Kellett - writer, food creator, and author of In For Dinner. From comforting nostalgia to weeknight saviours, Rosie takes us through her dream menu from breakfast to pudding. We get into her favourite hangover-busting salt and vinegar potato soup, a citrusy macaroni-spaghetti hybrid born out of broke London flatshares, and the pudding inspired by her Grandma Margaret’s legendary raspberry cakey concoctions (somewhere between a tiramisu and a trifle).We also talk about her love for Polish sauerkraut—her desert island essential—and a pierogi-inspired soup that’s become a go-to. Rosie takes us to Emilia-Romagna for some erbazzone and shares why she sees Parmesan as a kind of culinary medicine. There’s big love for London favourites too, including the crisp pink dosa at Rasa, deep chilli heat at Xi-an Impressions, and perfect service at Sessions Arts Club.And then there’s the Hall of Fame dish: a shrimp and scallion pancake from Piazz that, in Rosie’s words, made her feel whole again. We also get into her biggest food trend icks, why certain garnishes should be banned, her failed acting career and the one word she’d love to see retired from recipe vocabulary forever (spoiler: it’s “hack”).Rosie’s new book In For Dinner is full of the kind of recipes you’ll actually want to cook—comforting, clever, and affordable.
