Ep 34: Monica Galetti in Marylebone

Editor Joe is in the presence of culinary and televisual greatness this week, as Masterchef’s Monica Galetti gives us a tour of her favourite bit of central London. Basque cheesecake, blue cheese, artisanal miso and powerfully corrosive acid are all discussed, as is Monica’s memories of first arriving in the capital and her childhood on the idyllic island of Upola. What will the unforgiving judge make of Joe’s inability to shut up about executions and hangings? You’ll have to listen to find out.

For two years Monica has been working with lunch-time sushi specialists Itsu to make their ‘noodle and broth’ pots as flavoursome as they possibly can be. Follow Monica on Instagram and find out more about the collaboration.
