For the Radio 2 Culture Club, Jo chats to Michelin starred chef Paul Ainsworth about seasonal produce and what to do with it.
Paul Ainsworth was born into the hospitality industry, growing up in and around his parents’ guesthouse in Southampton.
His first big break was securing a job at Gary Rhodes’ Michelin-starred Rhodes in the Square in Pimlico, London, in 1998. After two fulfilling years, Paul moved on to work with leading British Chef Gordon Ramsay at his eponymous, three-Michelin-starred restaurant on Royal Hospital Road. Whilst working at the restaurant, Paul was part of the team that successfully achieved three Michelin stars, one of his proudest moments to date.
Skipping ahead to 2009, Paul and his wife Emma launched Paul Ainsworth at No6 in Pastow, Cornwall. A passionate supporter of local farmers, fishermen and artisanal producers, Paul’s fun and inventive cooking has held a Michelin star at that restaurant since 2013.
This August will see the launch of Paul Ainsworth’s Travelling Feast, a brand-new food, drink and music festival touring the Cornish coast. He will be joined by some of Britain’s best loved chefs and music artists as part of its journey such as Tom Kerridge, James Martin along with Kaiser Chiefs, Sister Sledge, Faithless and Sugar Hill Gang.
Plus Jo has the Thursday Theme - songs relating to Lord of the Rings to mark the anniversary of J. R. R. Tolkien publishing his first volume of the book, “Fellowship of the Ring", in 1954. Send your LOTR-related song suggestions to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk
