Bristol

Jay Rayner and the panel are in Bristol where they take on a fresh batch of questions from an audience of hungry home cooks. Joining Jay are chefs, cooks and food writers, Angela Gray, James 'Jocky' Petrie, Sophie Wright and resident food historian Dr Annie Gray. Together they share their secrets for perfectly fluffy omelettes, debate the age‑old question of whether puff pastry is better homemade or shop‑bought, and celebrate 'Something on a Stick' Day with their recommendations for stick‑based dishes for an Easter BBQ. And amid the good‑natured chat, it turns out dough isn’t the only thing that gets cross, as the panel unleash their views on the worst hot cross bun “abominations” they’ve encountered lately. Producer: Matt Smith Assistant Producer: William Norton A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
