Asparagus really is the KING of Vegetable. It has such a short season, is so flavourful and healthy, and best of all, requires the very barest of intervention to make it taste good.

As we near our 300th episode, Simon and I review our reasons for doing a food podcast. Is it because we love the sound of our own voices? Not so much! (Maybe!)

Doctor Satan brings his weird crimes to Tinseltown, much to David, Allen and Abysmii's mirth.
