The Guardian says: “As a food critic, Grace Dent is famous for her refined palate, but at home she can often be found with a plate of oven chips, gravy and mint sauce. And, she suspects, she is not the only one. Cold beans from the tin. Crisps with chocolate. Pineapple and hot sauce. We all have our comfort foods — the snacks we turn to when we have a rare moment to ourselves. But what do famous people dig into when the red carpet is rolled up and the PJs are on?”
Returning for a second series, Comfort Eating with Grace Dent sees a new host of celebrities throw open their cupboard doors to reveal their favourite foods. The first episode hears from Stephen Fry, with future guests including Desiree Burch and Russell Tovey.
Grace Dent, Guardian restaurant critic and TV personality, says: “And just like that, we’re back for series two! I’ve been delighted by the response to Comfort Eating from listeners, and cannot wait to find out more about what people secretly eat behind closed doors. Food allows us all to open up, make connections and talk about the things that matter – and my kitchen table is set for more fun, eye-opening chat.”
