Be part of the audience of BBC Radio 4′s The Kitchen Cabinet in Newcastle

If there’s anything you ever wanted to know about food or cooking, but didn’t know who to ask, read on…

Come and be part of the audience for, The Kitchen Cabinet, BBC Radio 4’s culinary panel show aimed at anyone who cooks, not just the experts. The Telegraph has tipped it as one of the Top Ten Food Trends of 2012!

We are recording a programme in Newcastle city centre, to tie in with Eat! NewcastleGateshead, on Thursday 12th July 2012.

Hosted by Jay Rayner, the show will also feature:

  • Peter Barham – the food scientist who is a consultant for Heston Blumenthal and Noma in Copenhagen (which some consider to be the best restaurant in the world)
  • Henry Dimbleby – cook, writer, and co-founder of Leon restaurants
  • Rachel McCormack – the Glaswegian cook who is also an expert on Catalan cooking
  • Thomasina Miers – the 2005 Masterchef winner, and co-founder of Mexican street-food chain Wahaca

The show is witty, fast-moving, and irreverent, but packed full of information that may well change the way you think about cooking. You’ll have the opportunity to ask anything and everything to do with food and cookery, and enjoy plenty of good-humoured conversation.

TICKETS ARE FREE, with limited availability, and will be issued at random from all entries.
