In the Channel Islands it s your Jay Katie show with you until 1 o clock and if you re listening in Jersey welcome to this world slightly different I m sitting in for Con a burger he s still not feeling very well and we wish him all the best and I don t know if he s feeling a little bit he s probably off his food or we re going to be talking food right now and we re going to be talking about vegetarian and vegan cookery because it s all the rage for various different reasons and we re joined in the studio now by Channel Island chef extraordinary the one the only Mr James Ferguson Good morning hi Jenny how are you a village lovely to see I m hungry I haven t had much breakfast so every time I talk of food my stomach might be in danger of rambling and every time I come in I say I ll bring some something for you to eat and never do so I m sorry Connex time I promise if you say you love me. First of all let s explore what customers are asking you for particularly in the corporate world here in the Channel Islands you know a lot of corporate entertainment going on at this time and I suspect you re being asked more and more for either vegetarian or vegan creations that s absolutely the case things have changed changed dramatically I think. You know as a chef you see lots of fashions you know a few years ago it s all very Nordic lots of the restaurants and that the t.v. Shows are all about about that the Nordic countries where they are you know there s loads loads of very Nordic noir and things like that. Some of the Nordic volume was lots of kind of smoke summons and things like that please it was just lots of Nordic food the top restaurant Noma that was in in Oslo I think or Copenhagen so you know that there was a lot of Nordic flavors and feeling and then it was very south american lots of proving restaurants and Brazilian restaurants are in the top 10. But this this kind of feels more than a fashion it feels like it s an important thing for the for the world to change the way we eat and why. That s cutting me out entirely or just reduce the amount I meet people I think think that diet is definitely changing corporately like you say people switching from sausage rolls and skills of chicken and beef to perhaps more vegetable based dishes to go now for lunches but every Wednesday night my son and I have a film night some really good quality time together by a lot of junk from a well known and I say junk I mean it round beige for you yeah and part of the beige creation that I put on the table last night was a vegetarian platter of sweet potato I mean rings and also cauliflower popcorn and out of all of the stuff we had a little miniature ticking Kiev s and little little cheesy things the cauliflower popcorn was the thing we both enjoyed the most it was utterly delicious it was cauliflower in a spicy batter that had a spicy dip it was sounds great Jess absolutely that when put on the menu Yeah oddly it wasn t just any cauliflower mostly. Just going to welcome into the studio Mike one of my glamorous assistants today Mr Mickey Hames who is working with us now Mickey good morning to you good morning now you happen to be is vegetarian or vegan vegetarian vegetarian we just exploring the trends when it comes to people like James catering for corporate affairs most corporations now are asking for a good mix of vegetarian I think so if you were doing a meal for maybe 12200 people there would be a handful of vegetarian or vegan but that has definitely changed and you see a much larger percentage ordering vegetarian alternative and for weddings for instance you know if we re doing a barbecue or a hog roast the salads themselves are a great great meal you know you could quite happily go to a wedding event on catering and you wouldn t need to worry about missing out on the meat because the salads can be so interesting and colorful if you used the right spices. On the right right and pulses in beans and things like What s your most popular salad lots of the moment is what s a sweet potato lots of bottom up squash stuff shows use quite a lot pomegranate all these kind you know it only takes a couple of English to make something really exciting granite is the devil s not not I m glad. It s just it s free fruit it s gritty do you like pomegranate I just think it s worth the effort to eat it to submission isn t it it is let s explore why your vegetarian because I m concerned that there s a lot of fake news going around about why people should be vegetarian or indeed really obviously if you feel strongly about the death of animals fear own satisfaction that s probably reason enough. And you do see some horror stories on social media about videos and how animals are treated but to become vegetarian or vegan to save the planet I think there is a lot of misinformation out there so I think we have to be very careful. About your it does just find out why Mickey s vegetarian for me it s quite simple really I just I value the the welfare of animals higher than I value the taste of meat per nuff I don t get as much out of me as I get from. Bob it doesn t outweigh the guilt I feel about eating animals have you always been for Terry not a about 5 years ago when I changed really fairly recently Yeah it was when I left home basically I started making more decisions for myself start cooking for myself . Home way where I was on the table. And then as soon as I start to be consciously thinking about it I realized yeah not for me and home with the rest of the family vegetarian no meat eaters or meat eaters My mum only white meat the rest of the family so perhaps we have to stop pigeon holing. In a weekend or strictly think it s like yeah because I don t really pigeonhole things that are vegetarian. Because I love a mushroom risotto you know I love macaroni cheese I like a mushroom omelet and I don t think one having a vegetarian meal tonight I just eat it at home we re eating a lot less less meat or you know stock I m not sure why that is fish I just don t I don t really notice that it s you know there s there s nothing missing from a from a curry a vegetable curry or a vegetable to gene or you know like you say results it s great it s not missing a great hunk of pork for all chicken on top of it let s find out in a moment what makes he might be having for Christmas Day lunch he might have some ideas for us as well and you ve got some ideas James Don t go anywhere because we are going to go through some vegetarian and vegan alternatives for Christmas and you won t want to miss it frankly. We are counting down to Christmas every Sunday morning throughout Advent here on b.b.c. Radio Guernsey I m Matthew Price and I hope you can join me this Sunday breakfast time sometime between 6 and 9 for the program that s all about island life in our faith communities we ll play some of your favorite carols and seasonal songs pause for our morning thought and update you on what s going on in church life as the islands come together to celebrate Christmas we ll look at some of our much loved traditions here local choirs and bands and prepare for the big day itself the countdown to Christmas on b.b.c. Radio Guernsey with me Matthew Price this Sunday morning between 6 and Christmas on b.b.c. Radio. Lives This is the b.b.c. In the channel and it s your Jay Katie show with you until 1 o clock and I m enjoying the company of James Ferguson he s a Channel Island chef does outside catering for all sorts of events and I m also in the studio with one of my many glamorous assistants working on this program and he s Mickey hangs Mickey is vegetarian we re talking about vegan and vegetarian food this Christmas we ve had an e-mail in from our Peter thank you for getting in touch Pete he says morning Jenny could you please say something about Christmas food in diabetics he says in all the adverts we see it s all food that could make a diabetic very ill it is actually Pete you re right he says I ve been a diabetic for the past 3 years and all my doctor s advice lost 25 kilos in 3 months because my wife search for the best diet for me I m now on the lowest meds for my problem and to found that by changing my eating habits I feel better and I m fitter Well let s give a lot because I like saying thank you very much for letting us know that Pete because that s an inspiration to any other diabetics listening well done you he says this is such a big problem today perhaps food companies should take some responsibility as they do little to promote good food sense. Most common Pete thank you so much and on the strength of your email I m very proud to say that Miranda is now working on a piece specially for you we re going to ask the state s dietician if she wouldn t mind popping in we haven t found yet so I m just putting it out there without asking her permission but we ll get someone like that anyway to find out how those living with diabetes can also have a reasonably decent Christmas food wise because we don t want anyone to miss out in the Channel Islands so peach Thank You see what you ve started now let s find out for Mickey what your Christmas Day Fair might consist of well for me so much of Christmas dinner already doesn t contain meat some of the best bits the roast potatoes the stuffing. Well in our house at least the gravy the all the roast vegetables and then you also have all the you know the press secretary the and the Chocolate beforehand the mail so it s always a. Vegetarian line. Vegetarian one yeah. Apparently another big practicing blonde I can t give you all the details but James you might know isn t there something why in the way it s. Done there s some animal product that s used in the I have to be on our new I mean one was find Could somebody let me know please allow to reconsider my budgetary and start. Something to do with the process some of it s not vegetarian so some kind of you can all vegetarian his change in could let us know get in touch in the usual way so you can email me actually j k t at b.b.c. Dot co dot u.k. And let me know about vegetarian or non-vegetarian winds or is it vague and I m not sure. I am a practicing blonde so don t rely on me for for any juicy facts so yeah but yeah so I m looking for something to that little extra substitution for the turkey on the sausages that I wouldn t have any other time of the year how do you feel that about fake meat because I think that if you re going to be vegetarian or. You know used to want to sausage hankering after a sausage Europe. Fake bacon I don t know feels to me wrong somehow but what do I know I home now or move back in with mom and dad. Because it s an easy substitute for them so we can all of the same meal Ok And it s just an easy substitution to like them they re Ok they re getting a lot better a few years ago you know you only had one brand and they were about bit cardboardy But now there s a market for them and they re getting various flavors various different types of fake meat. And they re not too bad now we know there s a huge huge change and much much more much more on the market available there isn t actually some of the vacant products you can get in the supermarket there s one which is a sweet potato and pumpkin burger which is absolutely divine and I was introduced to it with my eyebrows rolling when my friend turned vegetarian for goodness sake because I was brought up by a mother who did it in a party once and halfway through cooking just an hour before the guess would be to arrive suddenly realised one of the party was vegetarian I can t tell you the sort of language she she beetle down into town to a well known supermarket that doesn t just stock any food and she bought a vegetarian meal and on the way back scraped her car so to this day my elderly mum blames vegetarians for the scrape on her car so you can say you can you imagine the sort of environment I was brought up in but actually when my friend Jack s turned vegetarian I had a flavor of the future is eating and loved it again you know why do you think you know exciting and yeah you know in Greece and the Middle East is lots of food that is vegetarian you don t even think think twice about it if you go on holiday. It s so what you know there s there s no meat there s no fish in the diet and you don t miss it at all one of my favorite things is getting some pitta bread and opening it up putting some home of Senate and then some or all mushrooms spring onions and any other vege that you want lettuce and it s all crunchy you ve got the roll mushrooms and the homeless together attics divine you talk about falafel in there as well yes oh yes now you re talking so you re making me hungry and I am I going to rumble I m an ardent meat eater although as you said James I think we ve started to cut down significantly the amount of meat we re eating we ve we tend to eat more fish now we do definitely definitely prawns and salmon although quite why fish is so expensive in the Channel Islands when we ve got the watery stuff around our edges is beyond me so another conversation yes and no derbies called Thank You for getting in touch with the show Paul and thank you for getting in touch with the show Debbie could you give us please every going to a vegetarian alternative for stuffing and I think you might want to make my ears open you know what I mean I think I think lentils are always a good substitute for for sausage me it s going to help things bind chickpeas and the like the same before if you just get some some different ingredients with these pistachios or apricot so date something to keep it kind of seasonal the takes again that will help that point together nicely so would you say the lentils in a vegetable What alternative do is argue you have to soak them cook them and then in a bowl maybe soak your date s as well so low you d make a thicker dull Yeah yeah effectively and then they roll it kind of in Greece proof paper. Because I m thinking the lentils and stop might be a bit watery I think if you cook the almost over cook a little less you so it forms almost a paste and then you just roll that So who are voile a layer of greaseproof paper and then roll that into a sausage you can make that in advance as well and just leave it in the fridge and just just slice it what Herb switching to it at all sorts you know you could put the time Rosemary. Pasley. Tribes lots you know lots of exciting places in and then you know making things exciting before you know you just put some pumpkin seeds in there some cheer seats all available now a much you know much easier to get with the Internet there s a company which are meant to bring up earlier you know season pioneers which is on the on the Internet and you can get all sorts of spices that you wouldn t necessarily have heard of and it would just make mushroom Wellington that little bit more exciting or not I want a little fresh elf. You could get some is your mom going to be doing the cooking this Christmas my dad usually does the chief role but mom will join me on the vegetarian eating cooking extravaganza Well She yeah she she s rapidly cutting down on a meat consumption and she just has a bit of Turkey as a token gesture because because it s Christmas that s because she schmoozing with here Strictly Come Dancing stands it make is mum is a dance teacher in the Channel Islands and she runs something steps as she says she literally does she means that it s all really she s. I can just imagine they re. Not roast Wellington you know mushroom when Arsenal man was unwell of that and that sounds cool just sounds really nice sorts of you know x. You ve got so many different mushrooms I mean you know you try those you had to look at some you re going to go Yeah just as you re cooking those brings the flavor a little bit more when you re mentioning those chairs seeds and things like that and pumpkin seeds and seeds and seed. Since you turn vegetarian I know it s a bit of a personal question but does it keep you regular. It does again and it depends on how I mean. Because even being vegetarian sometimes if I m not cooking regularly and I ve been lazy with my shopping I can end up to stay in unhealthy foods past bread. So I never ate that much meat before and then the way so as not to change me too much I mean this respectfully but I think you re a lot younger than I am what you make slightly How do you 24 Ok half my age I just love it younger to. Talk about food being pastor and bread just all. Let s find out now what you ve got there that you can tempt us with James food wise so we ve got maybe a you know you ve got the lentil bakes the not roasts saying you re just adding seeds pulses from different vegetables that perhaps you know it doesn t just need to be carrots parsnips and you know potatoes you know celeriac artichoke some ingredients that are slightly different you can mix those into into any recipe that your You re going to you re going to pick up on google and just substitute I don t know the lentils 1st for something different start using you know chickpeas broad beans Beletski beans all these beans and pulses and seeds can just go into into any of the recipes you re going to pick up you know like I ve done here you know you ve got a Crumrine lentil bake delicious very Christmassy. You ve got a you cannot roast again you re going to pick the recipe up but that doesn t mean that s what you need to do you can substitute any of those ingredients with different different things so don t go out and necessarily feel you need to buy a huge sea packet of I don t know whatever the key ingredient is if in your cupboard you ve got something else that will do the job just as well a lot of people into Moroccan fare and I quite like Bulger we say if you meet and I can tumble a thing with cranberries and knots and things like that so quick. You could have a Christmas salad couldn t you with the you could yeah absolutely everyone else is having cold and just make the you know the vegetables may be slightly more exciting you know the sprouts I mean that fact can be you know whether it s just not saw not not in a certain will obviously not vegetarian civilians but some some punch at a through that so you know that that would be you know make the brussel sprouts more exciting but you know cashew nuts pine nuts piquancy any of those things just toast them slightly before you put them into the into the whatever is your you mix them with and roast your vegetables and yeah right eventually just going to gives a nice flavor I think you just slightly funnier in an hour I mean Honey is great isn t it you know it s very much I know it s just a better substitute for sugar How do you all stevia as good as well plant based Yeah how do you like your Brussels sprouts. Buttery. Because I think Brussels sprouts should only be cooked one way and you know I ve never had a problem with my boy he s only 12 eating Brussels sprouts He just because I rushed them a couple of them I think I had roasted perhaps he s not lived Macallan No he s not lived I m going to give you my recipe for the scraps in just a few minutes after this from my chair and if I. Just want. To. Play the guitar she does it mean to you right you said it was my friend songs do you want to drink. The fuck she go out. Drinking. a trauma on Albert Square someone must ve been suspended in the single The falling into the Christmas list of fun with Michael McIntyre live. In states a. Christmas. This is the j. Katie show on the b.b.c. In the Channel Islands with you until 1 o clock I m enjoying the company of Channel Islands Chef James Ferguson and my glamorous assistant state Mickey Holmes my other glamorous assistant Miranda Griffin is beefing away behind the scenes as his team in Jersey thank you for your support and James we ve been talking about brussel sprouts and I mention to you Mickey that I raced brussel sprouts it s very easy you get your brussel sprouts you cut them in half you put them into a shallow roasting 10 usual them with all of oil salt and pepper and you work them in the oven until they re brown cats like you are starting to caramelize they are absolutely Julissa it. The other thing to do is not for the grounds but for vegetarians one thing I love is if you get some channel only increase and you put it on to saw into a saucepan and put it onto a low heat with some bits of garlic in your infusing the cream with garlic just cook that for about 5 minutes 10 minutes gently see the cream takes on the garlic flavor see if the cream and then put into the cream a tuna flagellate been. And then you could actually beans they re all creamy and garlic and actually for meat eaters That s a great compliment I think you re wasted on the radio. You know I watched I watched the Master Chef program he was not making the best fantastic and I m sorry to say that a couple of years ago from one of Jersey s Frankie restaurants there was a chef appearing on that and I was ashamed as a child Lyle and to see that the poor love couldn t even shuck an oyster on national television oh oh And I think you came from one of the you know the post. If you re listening. Tell your all to Jenny can you know shucking oysters. And anything else that you can pass on any tips with the. Apart from you know don t he said making the vegetables slightly more exciting and thinking outside the box you know I think traditionally a roast roast dinner for Christmas is going to be sprouts carrots passives potatoes you know like we said red cabbage mix it up just there s a whole lot of vegetables available now in the supermarkets that you know if you re looking to expand the vegetable selection on Christmas Day can be done and then you know it again like you said expand that with with the nuts in the seeds and things like that to make that slightly more exciting you know red cabbage for instance a really nice nice dish that people perhaps wouldn t think to put on a Christmas dinner but you could could do that then like you said you ve got all that the not recent things there as well we ve had an e-mail in from Mike thank you for getting in touch with Jay Katie show Mikey says hi Jenny vegetarian vegan and organic wines are available I ve been trying to get weight traced have a separate section for them so far no luck all other wines can risk having animal products used as part of the managed manufacturing process a bit like run it in cheese hope that helps thank you Mike and my other glamorous assistant Miranda just whispered fish bladder in my ear so apparently it got something to do the fish bladder in wine curious so I had no idea about this. But if you ll be going to vegetarian you need to get your minds right otherwise you ll be consuming animal problems and worried about their now as well as Ok Mike over to you thank you email us back now James thank you very much Mickey for all your Hell no I don t and I think Miranda might need to back James just before we say farewell to you when you Caitiff a Christmas party seem see such a variety of different Christmas atmospheres and I wondered if we could live vicariously through you do you know there s there s lots of lots of different things in there you know I guess you ve got the kind of the alpine thing I know you know worked in the in the mountains for a couple of seasons and that whole. Atmosphere is really nice. Recreate as a party. You know lots of pots a groove on a mulled wine and. Some shots depending on your drinking ability. Yeah my stick comes to mind I mean I m partial to the sneaky sneaky AIG Meister here and there what s it. Called Alpine Hell point heaven. It s a nasty little drink to be quite honest with the. Spices do yez kind of yes spice paramedics and yet drink. Yeah and then you know you follow that through obviously with the food served with it s fun to use recollects cured me things like that so that s a that s a really nice theme have you done that yeah I ve done that a number of times and you know individual kind of pay from do so you just put a cheese dip in a little burner off that round people so that they re dipping into the cheese or dipping into it whatever it may be how do you stop people double dipping because that is that the way that s that if you cut things to the right size it should be you know it s a bite size. Winter Wonderland you know the whole the whole snow and sleighs and things like that that s always a great theme there s a list of you know part of what you call your Christmas party that s had a little bit different Jingle Ball if you re if you re catering for a bigger number is it was quite a nice name. Then there was one that came out mistletoe mania I don t know that conjures up all sorts of variances and perhaps for a generation that haven t got rings on the fingers maybe more. Well. Yes there s also a window sure yeah yeah. You know film theme that s always good you know take a Christmas film and theme your party around that home alone is one that springs to mind straight away because you can follow that through the New York themed menu or American theme and you could I yeah you know take any film any classic Christmas film and and just theme your party around that s whether it s fancy dress they are . Miracle on 32nd Street. Yeah. We re going to bring it to Babe and then go no after the screening of baby didn t come forward for a whole group. Yeah sorry I ll come over all previous Just like what s been the most elaborate party of educated I think those would have to be some of the events that went on to post the show. When I was when I was working up there you know 400 people some of the big winter wonderland bulls are just you know they re great you know lots of themes so machines outside and it just follows through the whole whole way when you drive into Beausejour the whole way through was it was just fantastic some of the outside stuff you know we ve we ve done the illuminated vents which wasn t officially a Christmas event but that was nice up at summery money you know 1st year that went on. It s just it s nice lots of lots of lights lots of music in and that kind of Elfie feel it s it was lovely you know I mean. This Christmas I m feeling really else felt yeah yeah. Elfin I m never going to look elfin like not with my propensity to enjoy fine wine and food and well it s an excuse Christmas isn t it is it is a good excuse for a party isn t it and then there s dry January but it s a difficult time for chefs because everyone s partying and we re just working so Party time for chefs I think is generally you know January it is complete Yang and yang isn t it for chefs because Christmas you know it s all go in January nobody wants to eat anything it s quite genuine I think you know it s holiday time for chefs and party time for chefs do you party in January we take Asian on White might go out and have a drink and. A lot with many chefs in Jersey. I ve been in touch with a few chefs about to be honest with you about charity events that when we ve done cooking events together. Try to create a jersey GONZI Ready Steady Cook type event is this going to sell I m clearly not in the us and I don t know I m not sure I m not sure if it still goes if not let s start one again where they would you know the Ready Steady Cook thing I mean I d be really keen to organize them again at some point if anyone in Jersey wants to get in touch with my friend James herring and see then get in touch with this I am all for interested in working and us doing more stuff together thing is important isn t it got a lot to share with each other you know we have Yeah yeah absolutely now while we re on the subject of Christmas parties you must have a funny story or 2 about things going awry in a full time towers kind of I think it s I know you have to say you know generally it s going to be hung over shot isn t it a lot of the time. Quite quite often the his says you know whether it s chefs not turn up for shifts or late for shifts or perhaps slightly over 50 s. . I know there was one particular staff party. That we went out that the not for came into to do to the shift in the kitchen and that the toilet door was hanging off the wall and it was myself that was hung over and had to make a phone call to the to the boss and say I m really really sorry but the toilet door was hanging off had nothing to do with me I ll show you. Who s going to believe. You know. Yeah I mean food wise I think it s generally very professional in the food needs to go out regardless of of hangover chefs or missing chefs that that s irrelevant that s not what the customer wants to hear they want the food to be done and done to the right standard. So if you patch up you do double the amount of work to make sure it s done is a team jobs and it s just like any Lisa I mean I mean you have to refer to as my squad in the kitchen if I if I ve got waiting staff much like 14 you can t to buy yourself salutes the 12th of December and I haven t been near any turkey yet so Trafford December and I have been the only shop chef.

So Paul McCartney has revealed he secretly recorded his own version of traditional Christmas music years ago that snow played every year and his household over the festive period the former Beatle says the instrumental pieces are just for his family and won t be released so he s been reluctant as to whether he should talk about them he told the b.b.c.

Radio Scotland the afternoon show it crowd start it s film review day and they will be having a look at Karen Gillan film Manzi the next level that s crap start at 2 o clock let s go back to. Talk about Russia in the doping. Story and it is extraordinary this 4 year ban from all major sporting events and this I guess we all unite grew up with understanding and we all grew up understanding that you know we thought the East Germans were on drugs and we knew that some top g.b. Athletes were on drugs and here this seems to be state sponsored stuff and it s not just a back page story you know I I do even go back just to the kind of l.e.d.s. Of that memory join because I was actually thinking exactly that just before we came on on e r I think that the people taking are probably thinking here about the early to mid sixty s you became aware of that behind what was then called the Iron Curtain that the the Soviet countries obviously the u.s.s.r. You know even the Czech Republic Czechs of archaea and East Germany in particular you knew that they had good each sporting heritage and one of the things that actually are I really admired was that if you take for the moment the debate about drugs being legal illegal watched. One of the things I think was fascinating about that period is it was the evolution of sports science that was the idea of all these kind of treaty scientists trying to make sporting peoples and Davis bets are better Norn more intellectualized a great understanding of physiology and one story that really intrigued me because it was actually one on one telly quite recently was the story of Elena Baltacha the tennis player whose father Sergei his mother had been part of that training culture of an academy and they had been selected I think 9 year old they met in a leather Mary is giving us a. Red Army cane of recruitment training camp one is a tough week the other is a soccer player but one of the reasons that they d been identified was the predisposition position of Saturday s family to produce good sporting people so that to the Beattie family your family has exactly that join you know and I think there s a lot to be a lair from not why is south in families produce strong athletic and sporting traditions Why is that in sports seem to replicate a particular type of body and a type of energy so there s much that we know nor much more now that we know about sport and Sport Science and the physiology of all than we ever knew before and I think we have to be if we re honest with to go back to that period behind the Iron Curtain and see much great pioneering was done there but something went terribly wrong wrong now whether what went terribly wrong was the prescription of very obscure areas of performance enhancing drugs which the Soviet Union or lots of early Russia simply ignored it and then thought well we ll get our way around this because we ll plan a rewrite and that s where the mistake was made the mistake was not about getting Greece on knowledge or great a straight sport science but actually abusing the systems. Been put in place to try and bring or make feet on this part of the equation as well you know I plan on growing up in the seventy s and watching athletics drugs but I was only young didn t think about drugs likes to be thinkin it s behind on cotton it s gelatin to them the discipline and I kind of thought there s a lack of freedom so they re made to train like all the time that s what I was sort of thinking that s why they were so dominant because it was the research and it was the science and it was the train every day and I think that was that was part of it I remember my parents making terribly put would now be considered politically correct comments about the lady shot putters Yeah yeah the drug regimen that created their progress and physique. Obviously you know not something that one would say in any company never mind polite company these days or speculate about yet it is fascinating and it s fascinating as well to to consider why these countries thought it was so important not the real crunch the question may have been a question you know why would you do such things why would you take a kind of a noble and Juno wholesome field of study sports medicine into wholesome and you know. Healthy pursuits why why would you take that to such an extreme Why would you twist it and and why why would you want to win at all costs and that then brings you to. The reason why this ban will be so painful isn t it and why it s such a huge punishment and it s because these things are so important you know that this was all done to to further the greatness of the the revolution and the Fatherland and to to show the. Success and the supremacy in every way of the people from the Eastern Bloc and the Eastern Bloc no longer exists this idea of sport as a huge hue. Huge player in soft diplomacy as a marker of your international status as just such an important thing for your national pride that completely exists which is why you know saying you can t compete in all these events you can t have your flag you can t of your tracksuits you can t host these events that is why it s such an enormous issue and why it s such a big story and why there s so much at stake you know and one of the things I was looking at this through our pay him an archive interview with the whistleblower who really blew the top pole of this and it was her Rangers or if anyone else it was her and just the guys wearing this the guy has had to change his name is like an f.b.i. Informant he s now living in the the u.s. He s had to change his name he s had to leave his family behind in Russia he s interviewed wearing basically a ski mask it don t see his eyes and he was wearing glasses you know he says he is absolutely convinced he is a huge personal risk for having exposed what went on at the highest level within the Russian Sports Management our world if I just pick up there on one of on as little phrases there he s now in the u.s. And I d quite like to follow the law as as a thought because I think the clear beneficiaries of this will be the American highly competitive American collegiate sports system that you know most of these Russian athletes know unable for the next 4 years and 4 years as a as you know a long time at the height of your sport on the ball therefore to compete under the nation s flag unable to stand on the podium hearing their own national anthem looking maybe to kind of maximize opportunity is within their career the vast majority of them probably 90 percent of them will go to the American collegiate system where they ll be on very strong and decent scholarships and will of the the again become come under a regime which is highly competitive. We ve not always as clean as we would like to make it but also a collegiate system where the idea of you you know the status that you can have within your own college and build up your peril achievements are huge so I think in lots of ways that s the the next part of that story because that system has also been exposed not always to do with drug taking but actually to do with the way in which money is used there s been an awful lot of attacks in the basketball profiles within the collegiate system they are usually involving Nike and Adidas and the big Morris we are companies cultivating kids from the genuine even in the recent scandal of celebrities and high fliers and so on paying you know big backhanders to get some of them are some sort of Ivy League yeah there were 3 or scholarships there and they go it s going to really a system that has some a regular room for various things of a nature says no legal stuff feel good lad I think a Monday was almost destroyed because there s no stuff cable so I don t I m an excellent pick out that you know but when I watch these major sporting events I don t believe it anymore yet you still believe it. A little bit it does cut it does color your view of it and you have to be I mean all the people whose whose medal you know who are in a different place or who didn t understand the variables that you use you know whose whose whole c.v. Was was changed by these things the opportunities they didn t get you know because I know it s a kind of a One thing leads to another doesn t it s a. Cause and effect thing and you know the the the the ripples of this are enormous all all the people effects done to people just yet like I suppose like us just watching on television thank you really really is this really what I m watching here I I I m not sure I always believe it at the very very high end but when you felt of Diane and he is a sport I don t know I mean Susan maybe has much glee and in-depth knowledge of badminton but I don t. Very much if that is the thing that differentiates the winner from the person that comes thought you know I may be wrong but I suspect that technique and quality and speed and energy and train l a t and training all of these things are detail minutes as well and therefore you know you can end up Kane of over stressing this issue and remember you know as in the case that we re all patriots are hot and you know what seafood is less because that was right in the gold medal I believe you know so there s a we are that and you have to kind of return back to that through through through the eyes of whom is this the global scandal and it s a global scandal because we ve actually gone through a period where science and pharmaceutical science is beginning to kind of shape the body and you know some of the drugs are a cunt Lee a cunt Lee demonizing Russia no will become legal you know and that s the other case the whole thing about that we have to stop the car sale at what point you know Ok instinct Thank you well you know I m not lead an opinion but I look old oh I can more about 100 on you know look at old records yeah and I know there were dodgy Yeah and the British Yeah. I agree with that and we can t really touched on it before there are records from the seventy s and eighty s that were ours Yeah and we ve got to tell them you are going to turn a blind eye they re still there no one s been there in 40 years you know right why Yeah we know what let s move on Nobel Peace Prize winner and switchy used to be seen as a symbol of human rights spent years on the his arrest for promoting democracy. And of these pictures he s no me I m a civilian leaders She s at the International Court of Justice to defend our country against charges of genocide. I mean this is extraordinary this is extraordinary it is and you know what i Reports come across to me reading and listening to recover it if this is the. Maybe I m reading too much into this you think but I can almost feel the pain of the people writing in saying these things because she was such a huge untiring figure you know a Nobel winner seen as such a powerful symbol of peaceful protests so dignified all the things she went through and then journalists who went through a huge amount of jump through a huge amount of hoops went to extreme lengths to ensure view her to tell her story or no having to tell the story of her standing up and. You know talking don t genocide it was I really I really know it s still in the speech to be fair she says didn t exist she says it doesn t identities got a very structured argument about it but. You know we also we all watched the coverage of what happened to the rectangle you know with with horror and obviously we can all make up our own minds that I really noticed this when on the Today programme when Michelle Hussein who is a moose from who had interviewed on throwing Suchi in 2016 and it had been explained this 1st started to to. When this adult 1st kicked off and it was an extremely touchy and difficult and unpleasant interview and I m sure it was extremely hard and. A big deal for the Today programme to prove us all together and just when Michelle Hussein was introducing this you know I could I could feel almost disappointment is not too strong a word for it. But I think a lot of people that s a lot of people s reaction to to the story is disappointment and finding it very very hard to watch. I think this is the disappointment that somebody who you in much of the world s view was almost saintly she was and then they have been accused of being party to trying to kill off a certain race it is what is that I really think it is and that she. Yes she had such stature and then to you know and then you read you dive into the coverage more deeply and people are debating why is she doing this you know she playing to a home audience is this a very pragmatic move on her part she playing a long game you know she s trying to she has got this very uneasy alliance with the military rulers of Burma she has this weird status where she s had to be given a special title and you know her situation although she has verified it supporters her situation is not clear cut and it s no way guaranteed so it s. Playing a long game here and you can read into all these things and I ve read some really great analysis really clear good analysis over and you read and make a lot makes a lot of sense but your visceral feeling when you see her standing up there is as I think it s disappointment it s really really she s doing that and I that sleeth that and you know I want to believe that she s being manipulated perhaps because there s so many people had invested in there and you see him standing up then you re wondering we don t really know what s going on in the country with the advisers around awhile is going on and it makes you think really can we invest in anyone you know if you can t if you can t invest in her you know it really makes you think really who can I invest and go into your other she s lying or the interest of course that are wrong well you know what there s and there s probably a few in between Israel John Boehner I m very struck by just one location a detour and sent to feet of history I ll bore you with us all to 2 seconds there s a wonderful play by back to back to back Galileo and it s at the point where Galileo needs the permission of the Catholic Church to publish his final findings on astronomy and he has he s befriended a very very liberal you know who supports him and the point of which has. To be published the cardinal becomes the pope now the scene involves Galileo standing speaking to him about his findings. All these courtiers come in and of a statement on the pope and another one and another one and eventually the mikes are and gradually throughout the scene you see the pope taking on all the bar all the all the wheat and all the institutional requirements of the papacy nothing to do with him as an individual but to do with the position he occupies now here s a woman I mean are I like Qana fell in love with our Dimmu our story kind of and the age that wonderful Cain. You know race against that she had and it was really. Compelling but maybe her passion the story is over detail meaning an overwhelming what s really going on here because here is a woman that s taken on a very different role and it s the role as a leader who or she has to her she required almost by expectation and by harder and by her seniority to defend her own military now not so often at the heart of a quite a lot of genocidal. Court cases and it was certainly the that the case you know when you do things like. The killings in Sierra beyond and Bosnia we ve seen even my bloody Sunday in the trials there as well where there s expectations that the that the elected officers of state will defend the military come hell or high water and often the things that they do exactly what she s doing they say well there might have been one or 2 incidents they imply that the might of been a bottle in the bottle but this is not in any way systematic or systemic of of the man of modern. Army or of the military she also goes on she comes very very very dangerously close to saying something that I always check myself about when it comes to Scotland which is right or wrong my country you know there s a whole kind of thing which is that the root of kind of blood and soil nationalism where you defend the indefensible and I think that she s perilously close to being put in a position where she is defending the indefensible I don t think that this story as it s been written about here in Britain because we re compelled by this wonderful woman and a history on a Nobel Peace Prize we don t know enough about the Buddhist Muslim say. The kind of root of this we don t have a real deep understanding of it nor do we have a real great understanding of the Rangar people in our history and so to some extent we re looking in a window saying she used to be beautiful didn t she and. Still going to but. Yeah it s very hard to cover and you can see you can see that as well especially given that there s been a lot of other news happening as a lot of people haven t really massively and engaged with the story so I did a quick check on the quick share service and the Sun The Sun story was 112 words the deal America managed 37 metric a man with 236 and then compare that the broadsheets had great big heavy the times that probably had the biggest one can ask a strange question and you just pick up on the word beauty and think she s been covered a different way because you can describe this woman as a beautiful woman. I m not sure about that I mean I think part of her historic or an appeal was this beautiful and not just that she was beautiful she was so brave and calm and the flowers in her hair you know she was the whole package. I think I don t know about is I think very hard question to answer I m not sure you know I actually think yes it does it is part of it I mean I think there are demeanor Nesat of arcane of Luke our story ness kind of played to waste on my ideas of the station beauty you know there was some sounds obvious a little clearer by that and I actually as she stands trial no there s no question that she s older self evidently and Tara here scurrying slightly and our faces may be more lined and therefore you could play out you could actually do one of these old Kane or troll t.v. Documentaries about the changing face of Einstein s to use don t you know if he still emotionless or not no I m not game for now but you certainly could and her face has changed but I wonder also within the changed face but there s also the bar didn t really of responsibility because she went through a very different Barden when she was you know an imprisoned and storing kind of hero it was actually fighting the system she now is the system and age 73 I mean it s like you know we are we are asking a lot of our you know absolutely. And and I you know my put my hand up to that so it s been fascinating I mean it s been fascinating to observe how do we how do we deal with that how do we turn around how we feel about turn to make sure that it s then properly covered in reflected and what we do is a very difficult one the instinct like the last topic and this is having a boxing and it s a but it s not really a book 6 percent of a just I think you may think you made 66000000 quid. Is once again the heavyweight champ in the world he won this rematch he has and he really junior but all of the build up to the fight was focused on whether Saudi Arabia was the right country to be hosting international sport that will go what will go with you out of that you know the political element to a boxing match where you go it s a place that has the money you don t like the regime. So what. That it s the nature of boxing isn t it always. Point your favorite fish series I ve been is that not just you know narrative his favorite was not. Is that I mean that seems to me as. As the norm boxing a very very distance observer it seems to me. It s a pantomime it s a huge circus that rules into tones of varying natures. And set up the circus says up to 10 and then we ll rule out again and it doesn t seem to doesn t seem to impinge on him boxing because it s not like to Reno were to quote We were talking about earlier it s not a national sport there s nothing there s no podiums in tracksuits and national anthems and boxing it s all about money so that s what determines that that s sort of generally because I mean you ve got felt a lump except China for example if it over a cup in Russia and cats are is there anywhere that sport wouldn t go for the money not just boxing because of the Formula One you ve got all these sports yeah I mean I think that when you ve got a sport which is go global appeal and then there is always going to be that cane of economic determinant where people will see the opportunities in the big opportunity here really is that you know a conflict to them deeply damaged state will pay huge sums of money for the live event you know you don t have to go back to far in the great history of boxing when boxing was going to. There are a jumble just going to his nerves really well and yeah well I know the middle of one of the probably the best example because you know was the weather his politics and government wanted attention for themselves so these things have always existed but the other thing importantly about it as a lot of the money is not the live event it s the global television rights to the event briefly and if I m allowed another tiny little not to join so I remember being a student and Washington d.c. And I was walking home one night and I saw this group a young African-American teenagers with trays a drink on their head like cans of beer it felt very much like Scotland were playing some very little of what going to these trees of beer and that I had and they were cued up to say this a tale I was utterly baffled why were these groups of kids going into detail and I saw this sign for and say the whole box office cable vailable. Young $9091009.00 of whatever it was $999.00 and what they ve done is the chipped in a gallon to get $100.00 to go into a room where it should be your Home Box Office was showing the sugar relay not fun I want to watch Michael Holmes Yeah so they were in Glasgow yeah exactly the selling box to that sort of us not where the real money was and the actual live event sometimes actually feel. Recent profit so they re going to show Uribe up because they can guarantee a life profit but the real boxer in being back showed the world you know but as you say I mean you go where the money is this is and it s also like we were talking about earlier itself diplomacy you know that s so do you know it legitimizes so dear Abe It becomes an Ok place to you know they can attract these huge events you know it looks good for them you can t escape that but that s the that s the nature of boxing I mean it s it s a it s it s political in a in a very different way isn t it you know it s the appeal of boxing is it s mythology the rocky meth it s the at college you know it s it s the personal triumph it s all those things that the venue doesn t really matter we run out of time but we always get Tex and we never read the map or someone said I m Florence Griffith Joyner Yes we have talked about Russia we only have I think your heart exploded because of all this there were dead indeed she also had the longest fingernails in the history of yes she really started the whole leg Yes absolutely it was Diana Ross meets anabolic steroids. Thank you. So that again. Was reasonable That s the phrase of the week thank you very much Listen thanks to everyone for listening thanks for your texting to my name was in charge thanks to Anna and to Stuart will see you all next week I think Lucy s here tomorrow coming up in our Christmas cooking to freeze and cheese or to please with the kitchen cafe. If. You re not. Here to help bring some. We ve got a. Little. With us today they are full of advice on how to get a head start on food for the festivities Welcome to the kitchen. We re going to talk cheese shortly but 1st. Christmas Eve. You re laughing already are always manic. I think lots of us need a bit of help with. Yeah that s what you re here for yes thank you yeah I think the problem is every kind of panics it s a last minute like we re going to do but there s so many things you can do around not just Christmas with any family get together around the table you can prep it up and we can do one dish in a minute put in the freeze freezer in the fridge take it out it s easy to stuff so . You can make it any time you want if you ve got a spare hour that s the time to do it put it away in the freezer forget about it until the day before Christmas Eve we take it out overnight and they can finish it off on Christmas Day for no more than about 20 minutes the job s done right so what we re doing Ok so what we ve got here is only 5 ingredients so it s a really simple one can you have them with this all right this is a take on the please red cabbage so we re doing a red cabbage and we re going to braise it off. With some lemon oranges and a little bit of sugar and that is it you can if you want throw in a cinnamon stick. In my face out there but he s not looking. But if you wish to do it please do so. In this way I don t think you need to be honest because the reason why this is a wine for Christmas in my book Ok. Crisp it s clean it s. A pool it s going all the kind of bouquet that you think of Christmas is in the wine you can add a little bit more suggest to it that again that kind of Christmas Well I think is enough in it Ok so what we re going to do is we re going to go red cabbage and we re going to cut it directly in half Ok and then half again and then half again so what we want to do is we are not going to end up with this kind of to Dish will kind of the work looking for mushy I thank you or not. So what you really want is nice thick chunky pieces of h. Ok rather than that which is good because normally on Christmas Eve I m standing there straight in this car but yes seems that in a long time when you re in a rush we really want this to be an absolute sort of chunky warming kind of on the plate not a mush that we are all mushy Ok so we re into half and half again having to basically make quarters or eights Ok and then we take the knife and we decor it to straight or take in the hard core taken in the middle of that so we ve done that we re going to cut that all up that s all that s up into nice chunks all salted so that you take your pan you put your plan on the heat and then you take your cabbage and you put your cabbage into the pan slow medium sort of heat no high heat Ok And at this point you crack open your bottle of reason now well people still need a whole bottle for this recipe we re going to go on the whole bottle of wine you don t need to go and buy a 910 Powerball or reason here you know you can go to the supermarket and pick up a 5 pound bottle like this one and just use that Ok can you keep a week last for yourself I would suggest telling the party do that for sure. The whole view remember here is a Christmas. So let s go and that s what you do is you re going to pour your bottle of recently in over your car make sure your cavity is covered if the bottle of wine doesn t fully cover the cabbage Ok just add a little bit of water so that it s purely covered but make sure it s covered Ok Ok then on top of that some little bit of brown. So there s a little bit of tartness going to come out of all of this so you need a balance in it Ok So that goes into there then we ve got orange and a lemon that s all going in doing this right so what we re going to do is we are going to take one point about half of each so it s going to cut them in half and then into quarters so that goes in the pie and we give us a really gorgeous area look at the color of that already so this is a really great gorgeous brew a Deep Purple and with and you can see there s a lovely them and then the orange is the color in there and you can already see that the cabbage is starting to turn the wine that kind of deep purple the kind of beautiful rich color lovely hair sticking out on to the back or we turn that dances over lowish heat and we leave that for no more than about an hour to be honest just let it simmer go for a bath come back before Christmas and you how you sound very very relaxed see a lot of very chilled. Care you re fed when you re fed says well in the bath with your reasoning a lier So it s they all sort itself out in the promotes Oh so then you just let it cool down cool it down makes this really cool not know he it s all in that put it into an ice cream container or a bowl if you have got the lid for it just click on it and put in the freezer and then just leave it so all I really want to do on Christmas Eve is take it out and you want to have a Save a calendar something like that and pour the whole thing or into the whole thing and into that but put a bowl underneath so what you want is the juice to reach to come through there and leave the cabbage on the top to finish it off all you really need to do is just per little bit of reasoning if you still got any left if not crack another bottle it s fine if you don t I mean it s Christmas out there is plenty of time Lovely out of the butter throw in your cabbage stir through leave it for about 15 to 20 minutes on the low heat cook it through that s it. Now if you re stuck in how to fill your cheese board this Christmas Don t worry cheese expert Phoebe Wale is here to help us we ve got some alternative choices are now why. Old card later on but let s start in the supermarket Phoebe they all of a great range of cheese now don t they but how do we decide what to choose always difficult there s so much there isn t there I mean some supermarkets just have tons and tons and tons but the one thing I would say is do not go for that pre-packed selection they ve got all wrapped up in cling film and the little books everything pre-wrapped it s quite entice things that was in it because all the work is done for you you are doing generator don t do what I want I m stepping away separate away from the boxes so what do we do instead then we get overwhelmed and think that we need to have hundreds and hundreds of bits of cheese and things like mince pies and things covered in wax I ll just be sloppy. You wouldn t. I love my cheese I really do like watching. Alice my reasoning. Let s get together so yeah so how many cheeses do you really don t this cheese board Well I think you know I think 3 is pretty soon although I normally have about 6 and I m only 2 so I can t help it but but really I think we get we ve had so much by the time it gets to cheese you want 3 just really nice things that you can that will just you can sit with and drink with your poor finish up your wine and just go for 3 really good ones just really really good one kind are we looking up they want your recommendations so we re in the supermarket I think the big one for the supermarket I think the thing that they do really well is hard cheese so I would think you can always find a bit of Conti or a bit of awesome Aracely there. That will just be lovely nutty warming restorer to of the cheese bring you arrived after the after to run absolutely right so we ve got a bit of heart and then for a bit of soft something soft and white in a beautiful. White velvet jacket something blew me and I wouldn t be unveiled. And for that I wouldn t go precut because the thing that supermarkets do really badly is the precut and the kill the cheese cheese is a living thing you know so you get a wedge of cheese in a supermarket it s not going to have developed anything to a tong So you need to buy a whole one yet if you can you get those little like a whole Cambodia or a little whole goat cheese or something something was mauled all the way around so it can continue that maturation making notes here in just a 2nd member there s a. Cabbage as well. And then last one blue cheese and I think supermarket blue cheese is really grim. I think again. And it s that it s that really angry aggressive metallic tying that those blue cheeses have from there there must be something in the supermarket fill in the believer diety that we re here for I m quite partial to tell anyone please but this is a quest to become. So quite like we were. In the supermarket may be hard if you can get a wee half still to know we have to be Stilton can be done I ve seen that in the supermarket recently but a wee bit is still to. Going on nothing to have Stilton and then keep developing it won t get that really miserable says crew Gee we were alerted to love or we can. Write Phoebe will be back for some more cheese ideas which are a bit more out of our comfort zone a little bit later on now if you are not a big fan of traditional Christmas pudding this is for you Gillian Russell s been to see Jenny Hardy for a delicious Lee simple alternative to see we re going to make a Christmas placed plenty in this full of really lovely fish to flee 1st with personal time orange What s the spice of this quest of the. It is like tar you can push it really well make it smaller base I used pieces but the fish thing about it I think is you can make it advance Also you can heat in the microwave which means you re not using a precious open space let s get started with this gorgeous concoction and it s for the chocolate which suits me to him to the ground where do we start Ok what we start off with are sugar and eggs and I would cease to be the best thing to you as you might not think I ll make a difference but absolutely well so the 1st thing we re going to do when a mix up the cost of sugar and the eggs being up the eggs before they go in the ball just makes it easier for them to incorporate and also just makes things a bit quicker. The next thing we re going to do is we re going to add a mix of melted chocolate and butter and I the thing to remember about this is that there s no corporate in the stressed a piece of all lists on really good chocolate so this is all or 70 percent cocoa solids Belgian chocolates really truly good chocolate what I would see if you want to get the best chocolate you possibly can and the other thing to remember she melted chocolate in the butter together over the pond just really gently don t want to burn anything that s been cooling for that but maybe half an hour but you want it to be still liquid but not warm enough to do anything to you don t want to end up with scrambled eggs and up all their. Looks chocolate lovers have a dice those are they re really a lovely moment when you me can play nice when you have I did the chocolate the button. Makes anything that s never going to come together and then it turned into this really lovely smooth mixture is a really nice moment I think we ve just experienced that many minutes here in full force it just starts so what we re going to is a mix of plain fire and southeastern Florida if you wanted a for me you could use to all play. But we ve got it about freezing huge and it makes us slightly keep here also in this flow thing it s a funny looking color it s mix of spices in there Ginger and cinnamon and some cloves in there and what you want to do the stage we don t serve any thing you don t want to get into this we want to make sure the flowers and courtly enough that you know going to get any little specks of flour when you come into play. Why we do this stage of the chalk that s been incorporated I would take the ball off the mixer stand and just get our stuff through to make any pockets of flow anywhere then we ve got this ball of salt flute here we re going to put that in there so when you say blue so what s so we ve got from if you didn t want any peas and if you wanted you know you didn t like it or you wanted to give it to the kids you could do orange juice which is a nice festive flavor it would have exactly the same effect and then the last thing we re going to do is going to some white chocolate chips in there too so what we re going to do tonight is we re going to chance for that mixture into the party line to snorkel East is just lined a 10 I m going to transfer the whole of our brainy bottle into the or this goes into quite a bit of an arch 160 degrees what you want to do is test after maybe 25 minutes pipe in a skewed in the meadow it should be clean when it comes out should be where it would not make damp comes on there are definite where you do want a liquid in the middle Ok let s get it in the oven. Ok Jenny So our Christmas spiced brain he has had what about 25 minutes in the oven 2530 minutes in the often and now it s completely cool and this is important for you to eat it what we re going to do you know watch I m not going to I m going to hunt you for trial head because Tony whose farm the earth than me I m going to decorate it and to make it look far more faced of what we have here we ve got some of our lovely Belgian white chocolate and we ve got it mounted in a piping back and you would have it. Just so the. It s not too hot not too runny and I give you a lot more control when you re trying to decorate a Brownie Ok so it s really simple you start from one corner of the brownie and you start to sling horizontally this is when you can get a bit creative artistic if you want to do it a different design again you can do like swirls crisscrossed so tightly yet and this is actually something that a child could do as well they want to get involved and as you can see it was quite easy to do yeah I think even I could tell you what effective it does really stand out against the dark of the brownie and then we got some lovely dried cranberries and we re going to generously cover the ground me with the cranberries making sure that every part gets a bit of crimson and cranberries are so Christmas and yeah they really are and they just give a really nice pop of color as well. Jamie s recipe is online along with all the recipes from today Afi Christmas pudding or Christmas brownie which fancy traditionally Christmas put in but listening to that I think I might be swayed to go that way with a glass of p.x. The finest real awful science guitar but you Phoebe put a. Note to beat you about the traditionalists when it comes to Christmas pudding putting. Fruit. Has got it right it s all the way chocolate chocolate here he was quite keen on the chocolate. And we Phoebe back to the cheese board what if you re a real cheese lover and you fancy something just our wee bit different this year something to really take your comfort so for me you know the thing that I always come back to is sheep s milk I love sheep s milk sheep s milk is the best of all the milk and after you ve been stuffed with all the amazing food I think sheep s milk just slips and is from a different realm what would you choose you need to go you need to go to the Cheese Shop and you need to spend time in the queue or spend time in your local deli and get this yes the deal isn t always be pretty soon. So again 3 cheeses I d go for soft white sheep s milk cheese so the credible British examples of this flower Marie in particular and Wigmore just really musing. Gentle and sweet but just so. The loop eat them side fantastic really really love those cheeses the cheeses that made me fall in love with cheeses the soft white sheep s milk cheeses what are we going for a hard one again a couple of British choices there you could go for Cora Lynn from Humphrey Errington in southern limits are really quite sharp but again that beautiful nuttiness behind or something like barks where which is from near Coventry really crystalline texture and just crumbles in the mouth but all that sweet sharp nuttiness It s just beautiful and to finish up of course the blue and for me with Mr Turner not my p.x. . Rock for Rock for all the way that yellow to me. And that just kind of just pushed past that great big thump of aggressive blue to the back of your throat and then disappears it s magical Oh lovely What about you Afi what she s Are you going for it to push the boundaries I always thought of a friend down south and he sent me some courtyard. Cushman hot for the whole history gotta have some of it. So of if we are we out with a police car but Ok so the press coverage is all sorted it s all done and dusted all get a little taste of that later on looking for a return so over the next something else that can be made in a year this is this is a little this which I love make Lassie So this is a 3 cheese brussel sprouts past Saturn chestnut that I am. Very exotic and sit up a 24 hours 40 hours in advance mixes well cling film to put it in fridge or you ve got to do is put it in. For about 20 minutes all day sorted no problem I m not much of a split love and I hopped on do you think this is going to tell you if you don t converted after this nothing will could very. Well can t compare. Well so you d be fine is plenty plenty Yeah so we re going to do is read some brussel sprouts some parents. Or some chestnuts beautiful this time of year fantastic what we re going to do is we re going to see this all off together Ok so we got some pancetta beers but it s mostly time to get in there get a bit of stir through so we could be standing here on the diva for Christmas the. Loss of some real nice Mondays here the Monday evening Monday evenings you know your thoughts to the gathering today and so there we go consciously and into their kid we used to be in this we re yeah you can be patient and you want something you need a little bit of that kind of smoking always smells lovely already smokes every year so into that we re going to put in some chopped onion. We have already done that goes into there get us there through Ok in a separate power we re going to blanch all for about 3 minutes some brussel sprouts cut them in half 3 minutes take them off leave in the air dry perfect Ok so none of that schooled in the bottom no no no just cut them straight in half 3 minutes boiling water take them off that the mad rice and then it in the safe no promises Ok All right back to the parents are here with us of all of oil with the pan set or the onions in chopped up that takes about maybe 3 to 5 minutes to brown the onions soften the onions get a bit of color into the pan setter and then into that so we can add some flour and what we re going to do is we re going to make a root flour that audience in the pancetta Ok So that goes and we put the flour in and we stood out in a few minutes and so we made the source because lumpy but at the same time you need to teach there in it from this point all right so into that we re going to add some double cream I will say that s a milk and if you can keep unbuilt cream and milk you happen to be a bit of a mixture to be honest in this one so this needs to keep stirring this through at this point it s really important to pay a bit of attention to the dish the wind out yesterday the forget the wine forget the t.v. Put your favorites get the locks on for 3 minutes you know this is the perfect timing for that sing along where you stir this through what you really want is a really silky smooth source right no longer Ok so that s where you go pay attention here if you do get a few lumps Is there anything you can do to get rid of them say what s there like hell a lot of that a little more much. Yeah probably below cream into it figured out that it out there but don t do too much Ok so now it s time to assemble this this is a really easy assembly Ok here is where we take our improved dish and into that we layer up sort of always we didn t there was a wrong word as we throw it out you just check it nobody actually eating here chucked them in Ok took your Brussels sprouts into the bottom Ok then we ve got these the whole chestnut available at any supermarket to see about them and I care about it yeah the volume pot I guess we just rip them open so. These are whole chestnuts we wanted just a little bit more probably just educate them out just give a quick break and basically yeah they re all into the bottom like so Ok nice and easy get there what we do is we take our source and we just pour the source right over the top. And we take the spoon and we make sure that it s well put into all the corners so they re covering the whole of the biggest sauce in every made from basically that s what we re looking for Ok to have a little glen a display it will have to sprout come on how is under its love and love shown to it so in a blender we re going to have. Just some bread and some chopped nuts and we re going to make a little sort of like a crispy kind of topping to go with this Ok along with some cheese All right so it s going to blast that switched off we would do if it was switched on or as well Ok so here look my mistake. If you don t know. Why the fish left but right so that if you put the lid on yeah it does need to. So we ve mixed together I made a little sort of a crumble top to add to that we re going to add some 3 cheeses Ok I m listening up Ok you re probably not a lot of cases Ok we re not going to play like me this some of these but here we go so we re going to use a Red Leicester. And some Apple would smoked I ll come on now. That s for another. Symbol in there s. No cheese Ok you re given. All that to know something there s no good cheese and. I love seeing the cheese I can t believe. She did that somewhere it does honestly please trust you know how you are they are still Do you see we didn t see this because we want to texture and flavor in between it or read less to get a really lovely color Ok the mozzarella has a string less effect to it and then the smoked cheese will call it Ok just use a nice bit of smoked cheese through it Ok So that goes. On top of your mixture with the source so the bottom you ve got your chestnuts your pants set is through the source you have got your Brussels sprouts you ve got your cheese on the top then you take your bread and nuts mix and you kind of get a really good sprinkling all over the top Ok so you want to cover the whole dish all right once you ve done that leave it to cool because it s the war from the source been on it and also the Brussels sprouts are going to have a little bit at that point there what is totally cool give it a really good cling film so this completely put it into your fridge and then when you want to cook it all you need to do is put the oven about 200 degrees but never in 20 minutes golden brown on the top your prosperous way of telling you well I m going over to snowy minutes if you can compare me Phoebe how much is cheese close the dish after your own heart well I love sprouts I think you re wrong Jenny I think it s a great yes I love that you are willing to be converted makes things to so much better. Underused Yes not loved enough so how else could we use cheese Christmas Now Jenny I know I said that no good cheese exists but I mean. Just to give you. A little quick backtrack here because I hope to this year have cheese cheese as the main thing in every course of my meal. To this yeah so go for scores of the best things I ve had this year as we were we North summer and we had this thing which was this amazing cheese score on with cream cheese and smoked salmon on it and what that s going to be my starter sound example on the market is no cheese or you can use the. Smoked she did might just use a bit of apple we. Just did I never did those that combination of the the cheese gone which is likes it s Irish you know. It s your cheese earth and then the living she s is like you know. Walking around it s your earthly plane and then smoked salmon is a theory and high all of those different layers of density love it would have as a canopy can you if you were having a party party I think you might do that right for you have your main course learning course always have a big Vasher so Vasher and is awash trying to seasonal cheese from the east of France and it s one of the only seasonal cheeses that are left it s a cheese or trance humans so when the cows come down the mountain in the winter you make this quick make cheese and so the one I get is about cow member sized and it s barren 2 with a bit of spruce ran the outside so it has this incredible sappy rich quality stick that in the oven you don t do anything to it you just stick it in the oven pull it out and it is just do it s cheese but it s much stronger and more rich and creamy year than cam and they re really for a lot and a little bit for tea you know it s got a good cheese for a stew and it s going to have that with amazing gammon kind of pineapple e glazed gammon and some roast and blankets so how are you going to get the cheese in the pudding that well that s easy. Because I m going to take the Christmas pudding this much maligned Christmas pudding and then I m going to chop up I m going to chop it really fine and then I m going to bake it I m going to bake those bits of Christmas pudding so it s like a Christmas pudding toast decide and nobody s going to stay with me I think it was you know your mother and we had all year long way to abated. And then on that Christmas put in that crispy Christmas pudding I m going to have some blue cheese here of course I should have still because Stilton is traditional By might have stitch will turn which is a rom. Version of Stilton and it s amazing I have a beautiful bit of Cork and. Love it yeah yeah yeah you re bouncing all of the right Ok and I am going to have a quick taste of the sprites while I m here just to see a fine converted I can only say I think it benefits from the cheeses I ll see everything everyone used to use everything. That cabbage I m going to cook by often I m here to it s teeth so festival with that with the wine and that it s a bit like mold wine you know you re absolutely lovely does work today though very much to Phoebe Alfie and Gerry for all the ideas we hope to meet the run up to the big day a bit calmer if you missed anything today you can subscribe to the kitchen coffee podcast on.

Education in Abingdon says at the moment strategy varies greatly between schools in Oxford shit when a period of digital change is going to take a while to settle down a little bit in schools wanting their own way of his lots and lots of different schools and I don t see uniformity of approach which annoys a good thing because the school should know the local community and they should actually deploy any so the structure to meet the needs of that local community now outside researchers are writing us to rethink how we tackle conservation today a team at the University of Oxford is launching a new approach called the conservation hierarchy the idea here is that it will help us tackle the issue in a more coordinated way and we grab is the lead coordinator for the project he s asking us to think about before all the 1st one is refrain so you should stop doing actions to harm nature 2nd is reduce so you should reduce any harmful actions that you really have to take you should reduce those as far as possible the 3rd one is restore So we need to be able to restore the nature that we ve already harmed and then our 1st and final one is really new and that s about brand new projects that goes far beyond just restoring things we ve already damaged oxygen.

And a few years ago we d helped with the fund with an issue donations for the war we call Project 2 and after that we had to we were thinking of projects we could take on one of them was the need for an archive in person and that s the turning point really was when a local family who were interested in the project offered us a site for it and that s on tazers price and.

Radio Oxford the b.b.c. Sounds right it is 646 b.b.c. Radio Oxford has some breaking news it s really sad news and it will really rock I think many Oxford United supporters legendary manager Jim Smith has died at the age of 79 he became Oxford United manager in 1902 when they were in the 3rd tier of English football where they are now by the time he left which was just over 3 years later they were in the top flight Well he became quite simply one of the biggest figures in Oxfordshire sport of all time and though he was born in Sheffield he became a real man of Oxfordshire from that moment in 1902 always kept his house in the Woodstock area and would be a supporter of Oxford United you fell for him most despite the fact that he won consecutive championships taking most of the night out of the division it was then out of the 2nd Division into the top flight the 1st edition as it was called but now the Premier League. He left the club after a fall. Out with the larger than life owner at the time Robert Maxwell and ended up managing Queens Park Rangers who got to the League Cup Final in 1906 he was on the losing side against Oxford United when Billy that day my abiding memory of that day is that the Oxford fans had been joking all the way through particularly when their team started winning that Smith should have stayed at the Manor. And then at the end of the game he had to make a long walk from the the end of the ground where all the Queen s Park Rangers supporters were to the Oxford end of the ground because the tunnel was at that end of the ground at the old Wembley Stadium here and as he walked towards the Oxford United supporters I can remember thinking that youngster there and what an awful thing to have to do and then it was almost as if 30 odd 1000 Oxford fans saw that remembered what he achieved and started singing his name it was such an emotional moment I can say you re welling up just wiring it it was it was a. Measure of the of how people felt about him now he went on to have a successful career with Portsmouth in Newcastle he worked with Harry Redknapp for a long time and in 2006 he came back to be part of the takeover group at Oxford United he was installed as manager things in the initially did not go well but then he. Moved up stairs was part of the the appointment of Chris Wilder results for manager of course Jim Smith famously said before the play off final the locks were played in 2010 that Oxford had to win it because the the future of the club was right on the line and they did and you may have seen images of that day when Billy where Jim Smith was in the directors box celebrating I think it almost as if things had come full circle this is a guy taken Oxford United into the 1st Division into the Premier Li and there he was just relieved to see Oxford back in in the Football League so many players oh so much to what Jim Smith did for them but I think baps as a county very few people I mean genuinely So Roger Bannister maybe the only person who s put this county on the map in terms of sport in quite in quite the same way Jim Smith did. Well sad news to hear really is that I should just point out that many people listening to this will have their own memories we re going to move the 1st hour of sports night after 7 o clock and make that 1st hour about Jim Smith So a chance for people to come through with with their memories their tributes So if you like to be involved in that do give us a call right now 109100 of course if you want to text as well a one trick or 3 start with Oxford and the whole 1st hour from 7 to that clock dedicated to his life and your memories of him thank you Jerome sad news but well hopefully get some joy about talk about the memories after 70. 3 b.c. Brady a walks with it your time see the travel right then to the very latest on the roads now with Mark Watson. A $34.00 is still very slow northbound I ve been due to a broken down lorry which we ve just heard has been recovered still delays of about an hour going northbound so also fighting traffic going through East Hanney and for all furred and also going into Abingdon on Drayton road through the village as people that over away from the I 34 and on the 415 all around the Clifton Hamden lights I 40 is still slow from auction through to the engine lights about 20 minutes to get through there but the rest of our main roads in town centers are flowing well now but if you re heading towards Birmingham on the m 40 there s an 8 mile queue between Warrick and the m 42 due to a crash blocking 2 lanes life from the Traffic Control Center Mark Watson caught with your trouble use a waiter Wades 109 drivel why on b.b.c. Radio Oxford time seems a travel. Ok 9 minutes to 7 I caught up with the right shall my food expert which I chat to every single Tuesday to find out what recipe she s going to give us getting in the mood for Christmas and getting prepared for it she s going to hopefully make you fall in love with something you probably hate right now this is how it was and Rachel is here. Good evening write show evening out in how all your I am very good thank you now obviously you are off to the lady you eat up review little off the beaten track pub so places to go any and cafes and things that people don t necessarily know where they are and what they like or you give us recipes now obviously because we re getting closer to Christmas Eve You ve done a couple of festive recipes we did the big ham one and today well today s is controversial tell us why oh it s so controversial so I ve actually made something which I don t even enjoy myself brussel sprouts Brussels sprouts normally you wouldn t eat them which I would have worn on Christmas Day That s pretty much it with the Christmas dinner. But I ve never really enjoyed them and I was determined to find a recipe that was tasty yet a recipe that you can make with Brussels sprouts and I m assuming this is a recipe where you can make them and they can go on the plate with your Christmas dinner yes absolutely and so obviously Brussels has quite a bit of flavor to them Yeah so you need something is doing the kind of disguise the Brussels and I love ts as you know so I ve gone with he s a professor out all recut why not this cauliflower cheese as broccoli cheese why not Brussels sprout cheese Exactly and it s a very simple read they close the on Christmas Day We re all a bit all over the place trying to cook a 100 different things and yeah so what are we looking at price wise you reckon is it as a as a gas a for people for this probably just a couple of quid Yeah not too much to 2 or 3 pounds Ok All right so what do we quantities really what do we need a case you need Brussels sprouts of this lady out of the money you need this recipe for around 600 grams but you can do less that would be up to find 50 grams of Busta 50 grams of milk 75 grams of find the grain to pick arena now you could use Parmesan instead but I would recommend if you can get hold of Purina to use this year. Quite so see and it goes a little bit melted at the end which is quite nice to continue having a Doesn t it make those those 3 which you don t really get Parmesan so not you can find to careen I do and then black pepper and yet when we start what do we do Ok so obviously got to give the sprouts little bit of a clean and the best way to do that is to remove the outer leaves and trim the bottom and then you want to chop them all Inhofe them for about 3 to 4 minutes so I ll point out that chopping the Brussels sprouts in half and peeling them can sound like a laborious job but as it is Christmas this is the perfect thing to be doing well sat in front of the t.v. With the washing up all on your lap while you re watching something drinking mulled wine just eating chocolates just do it not Christmassy evening type thing exactly this is the night before Pratt Yeah it s all my present for my rice potatoes my carrots everything so this is definitely the night before prep and it s very simple so you could give this job to somebody else in the House who want that yes children pocket money excellent as an idea Ok so what s that chopped and paled Yes so you need to boil them for around 34 minutes but what I would say was that with Brussels sprouts Typically if you do find them a little bit better I think they need to be a little bit out and say so cook them I would say on the sides 3 minutes rather than 4 if you don t want to go sort of mushy Yeah and then give them a good train to drain Quick Takes again the keep cooking is there in the whole water. So leave them on the side while they re just cooling down at that point you want to find a frying pan and he Busta. Agile brussel sprouts in your milk can until it s bubbling away and that s the point where you had to cheese in and cook it for literally a couple of minutes and you want the cheese to start kind of thicken into the sauce but you will get a few lumps stringy lumps of cheese in which is really nice so don t worry about that you want but and that s it and then you just want to add a little bit of black pepper I love the sound of this and you actually made this this morning and you tried it and what the good conclusion I really enjoyed it genuinely I was very hungry when I am and I could have eaten the hobo but I thought it was a good idea to have lunch. Yeah but they were really delicious and obviously on a plate with lots of the different things they would there really nicely I think if I was going to eat those on my own which you could actually have as a male let s be honest although you know you probably don t want to be in the same room as many people for a while afterwards I would add some chili fresh chili and that s well oh interesting it s just me bacon might be nice but I know there s a lawsuit but actually that left Brussels Sprouts the bacon which I m sure are really really lovely but from a person I want something a little bit stronger than that yeah I like to tell you agree with you but you can I think that I think if you do the bacon thing sometimes it can overpower the whole thing and it s just like having squishy begun. Because bacon are such a strong flavor for me especially if you get asked most insulted and all that kind of stuff so yeah this is lovely I do almost see a picture of it just check out the oxygen 3 d.

News it s 3 minutes past 7 this is b.b.c. Radio Oxford and Andrew self will be along in a few moments time he would normally be bringing you a lively Sports Night program kicking off right now but if you re just joining us I m sorry to have to tell you that if you re a sports fan from Oxfordshire there s bad news tonight one of the counties big sporting legends of all time Jim Smith has died at the age of $79.00 he was the man that took Oxford United from the 3rd tier of English football to the top flight. 3 years after he arrived at the club it was I think time that anyone who lived through it will never forget and I d say that and yourself is with me in the studio also here is Andy Roberts who s been covering and watching out for the United for the best part of 20 years so we ll have known Jim Smith in the 2nd part of his time in Oxford when he came back as part of a takeover group and became a manager later an advisor and was there at Wembley in 2010 when Oxford United made it back to the Football League after some dark dark times good evening both good anything that selfie 1st of all your thoughts as a longtime supporter of Oxford United and about the death of Jim Smith and also the life of Jim Smith I just I m pretty emotional about things as I get in advancing years part of your childhood or your youth disappears and Jim Smith played a massive part in in my youth because I was an oxidizer fan and we ve had many years through the seventy s of ailing and lumping from side to side not really going anywhere in Greece came in Robert Maxwell took over and then Jim Smith came in and realized things for us that just were just unbelievable going to Wembley with $90000.00 fans all Oxford fans in there not in the full 90 but obviously a very large complement the old Wembley he wasn t in charge then but it was his side on the pitch and we knew we just knew as I stood in the oval road in the open bar that if we were playing well tim could rally his troops half time and he was just it was phenomenal that side never that era is an era that slips away and it s an era that gets maybe Rosemary my glasses all the time but I tell you what it was a fantastic time to be an oxygen I define it was a fantastic time and it was down to 2 Smith. And the somebody you saw the 2nd time of Jim Smith s arrival at Oxford United and what that did to fans then. When you envious of what they went through in the in the eighty s it was really interesting if you guys started watching or to United when the club just moved to the exam stadium so it s actually pretty dark times for the football club and. The We ve gone through quite quite a quite a few pretty bad seasons and situations it got worse with the ownership of the earth the football club and fans tensions in it got got worse and worse and and then out of nowhere seemingly Jim Smith came along with Nick Marion the would stop partnership and took over the football club and I remember I mean just the sense of relief relief a new supporters but looking in speaking to walks United supporters who had been through those days in the 1980 s. The excitement on their faces somebody like an oxygen aura to legend like Jim Smith was coming back to the football club Now obviously everybody in football who knows anything about football knows who Jimmy Smith is but to have him coming back to the football club and see what massive lifted it gave not just to the football club but to the city was fantastic just in the days after that news was announced people stopping you in the street if you re wearing an oxygen item and talking about the return of Jim Smith So the the impact that he had on this city on this county in the football club was absolutely evident and it was we really wanted to be a part of that time.
