‘What’s the podcast all about?’ I asked my daughter, Lois.
‘Food, Dad,’ she said.
‘Ah, but food in what shape or form?’ I said.
‘Well, it’s about how we cook what we cook and why we cook it,’ she said.
'And how we eat what we eat and why we eat it,’ I said.
'That goes without saying’, she said. ‘There’s no cooking without eating.’
‘What else, then?’ I said.
‘There foods we hate and foods we love, food on tv, how not to waste food, restaurants we remember and why. There are recipes and tips and hints. There are stories, memories, reflections. There’s -‘ she said.
‘All of life, in other words,’ I said.
‘Pretty much,’ said Lois.
‘Hmm,’ I said.
‘And you’re quite well known, Dad,’ she said. ‘Food Editor of the Guardian. Award winning writer. Award winning author. TV hero.’
‘Steady on,’ I said. ‘What about you?’
‘Let’s just say I take a different view from you.’
‘Quite right too’, I said.
So there you have it - dad & daughter; the wisdom of ages and the spirit of youth; united and divided; chatting about food, glorious food. And cooking and eating. What more could you possibly want?

The last in the present series of Forts on Food embraces the spirit of Christmas with gusto and brio. Lois and Matthew are joined by Lois’s partner, Peter, and producer, Teän, for memories, mirth and mayhem. They chew over triumphs and disasters. They reflect on their own family’s Christmas traditions. They reminisce about Christmases at home and elsewhere. They meditate on what to cook and what to drink (and what to drink with what to eat). There’s a little bit of history. There are tips galore. And if there’s not quite all you need to have an absolutely cracking Yuletide, Xmas, Christmas, it’ll put you in the mood to do so.
And we wish the merriest of Yuletides, Xmases & Christmases to all our gracious followers.
