YES CHEF

We headed on down to Clapham Common for this episode of Yes Chef to chat to Adam Byatt who has three restaurants in the area. He's got the Michelin-starred Trinity, it's more relaxed counterpart Upstairs (which is surprise, surprise, right above Trinity) and the casual Bistro Union. Hear how Adam got into the world of food, made his mark as part of the community in Clapham and put his stamp on the London restaurant scene.

Hello Hello. The lovely Ravinder Bhogal is in conversation with us on Yes Chef this week. The chef, food writer and stylist came into the limelight by appearing as Gordon Ramsay's new Fanny Craddock on The F Word. A few books later and Ravinder has her own restaurant Jikoni, a lovely cosy kitchen-style diner in Marylebone. Ravinder has an amazing story to tell, so pop that kettle on and press play.
