What is it? It's the total celebration of food by food lovers, with inspiration and practical tips for every home cook. Each episode is available from Foodbodpod.com and is also available to watch on the The Foodbod Pod Youtube channel.
In the podcast, Elaine, and her co-presenter David Treadway, talk to home-cooks and bakers, food producers, food writers, recipe developers, food bloggers, professional cooks, and others associated with the food world.
As they chat with guests, each will be asked for their top three tips in the kitchen, as well as their favourite ways of using leftover foods.
Elaine explains: “If I read a food magazine or watch a food show, it's always about the tips. Because that's what I find most interesting. I read recipes to learn about the whole dish, but I'm also looking for those tips, the little things people do in their kitchens that they don't even realise they're doing.”
She went on to say: “My other great love is leftovers. To me they are the bomb, they have so much flavour because they've had time for the flavours to develop. There's so much you can create out of leftovers. So tips and leftovers are massive things for us.”
Elaine and David also discuss relevant and current food issues, including such things as the cost of living crisis and how to tweak your cooking accordingly.
Elaine explains: “Our aim is to talk to chefs and cooks at various levels, ensuring the subject matter we cover is relevant, real and attainable for our listeners who are home-cooks from around the world.
"We also collect recipes to post on our website, Foodbodpod.com and each episode is also available to watch on the The Foodbod Pod Youtube channel so listeners can actually see the recipes being made.”
Elaine, who already has a massive following online, started her food blog, on a whim, in 2013 to chart her progress when she decided to teach herself how to cook her favourite foods.
A friend challenged her to try making sourdough. She learned about the process and its many nuances through trial and error and eventually landed on her own simplistic way of making sourdough, removing unnecessary steps, mess or waste.
This simple way of making sourdough appealed to a lot of people and Elaine has become famous for her sourdough skills. She is now keen to share more practical skills across a whole range of recipes through her Foodbod pod.
