Expect celebrity chinwags, foodie gossip and the sort of recipes you might actually pull off on a school night, all fuelled by the easy, infectious chemistry of two proper mates who spend half the time laughing and the other half trying to make each other spit out their wine. From Stanley Tucci to Minnie Driver, the guest list is pure A-list pantry, and with Season 8 bubbling away ready for September, it’s the kind of cosy, wine-topped conversation you’ll never want to leave.</p><p><a href="https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/content/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Each week, she invites a celeb into her kitchen (real or virtual) to reveal the unglamorous snack that soothes their soul – from buttered rice with black pepper to crisps eaten straight from the bag – and the life stories that come with it. Grace’s dry humour and knack for making everyone feel at ease means the confessions are equal parts funny and tender, the kind of conversation that makes you want to curl up with a biscuit tin and listen for hours.</p><p><a href="https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42Kth2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LISTEN HERE</a></p></div></div></div></div>
