Shelly's Sizzling Odyssey

Foodie Shelly cooks up a storm in his East London kitchen, treating Lara to dishes from India, Turkey, the Caribbean and Nepal. The stories that accompany his Sharing Plate are as diverse as the dishes themselves. Shelly, we thank you for launching the series, for your openness, vulnerability and for trusting us.Special thanks to Mummy Pat for her contribution, to both the podcast and for being Shelly's second mum.This is the first Sharing Plate podcast we recorded. Until Shelly opened his door to us, it was just an idea, based on a belief that food connects us to memories, to people and places. Following an afternoon in Shell's kitchen, that belief is an absolute certainty.Please be advised, there are references to domestic violence in this podcast.

Om Podcasten

This is a podcast about food and the role it plays in our sense of self, our sense of place and our sense of taste. All of our guests have made the UK their home. Each of their sharing plates connect them to "their country", their people and their own special memories.  You're invited to join us, as our guests, share plates, recipes and stories. You'll hear how refugees are just like you and me, and have their own hopes and dreams. This is a foodie's journey that transcends generations and nations and is made possible by the openness and generosity of those around the table. Thank you for listening.
