Episode 11: Marco Pierre White, Gill Meller, Sutton Soup, Chocs for Chance, Paul Ainsworth and the search for the 2017 delicious. Produce Awards nominees

This month we spend the night with Marco Pierre White, thirty years after he became the bad boy of British food; we meet food writer and River Cottage man, Gill Meller, and hear why buying chocolates is a must this Valentine’s. We chat to Paul Ainsworth about what happened when he got the decorators in, and we launch a new series of readers’ events which aim to use food to change the world. And the hunt begins for the best producers in the land... Presented and produced by Gilly Smith.
