S1 EPISODE 1
SUMMARY
Welcome to the very first episode of The Doorstep Kitchen – the podcast celebrating great British food and drink. In this show we chat to James Chase of Herefordshire-based Chase Distillery along with giving you some great ideas for using wild garlic. We are also joined by our expert forager Imogen Davis who provides an introduction to the world of foraging before diving, fortunately only metaphorically, into stinging nettles.
CONTENTS
In this episode we cover:
1. British spirits with James Chase – 0:58
On this inaugural episode of The Doorstep Kitchen I speak to James Chase. James is the son of William Chase who founded Tyrrells crisps, Chase Distillery, and most recently Willy’s apple cider vinegar. We speak about James about the humble spud – the basis of their vodka and what it brings to their spirit. James also talks about his family farm, their farm to bottle gin, his role as Head Ambassador, and how the business is coping during coronavirus.
2. Wild garlic – 19:55
James tells me his favourite ingredient right now is wild garlic so I share a pickled recipe which you can also find here.
3. Foraging with Imogen – 21:55
Our regular expert Imogen Davis joins us to chat about getting into foraging and touches on the safety aspect before delving into nettles. Interested in eating nettles? Find recipes here.
Imogen is the co-founder of Native restaurant.
