Clare Smyth on the pressures of 3 Michelin star cooking, being a female chef and potatoes
2026-05-12 | 54 mins.
In this episode of the Good Food Podcast, Samuel Goldsmith sits down with the groundbreaking Clare Smyth MBE, the first British female chef to run a restaurant with three Michelin stars. Recorded on location at her new London bistro Cornucopia, Clare opens up about the realities of life at the very top of the restaurant world. From growing up on a farm in Northern Ireland to running some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens, Clare reflects on ambition, identity, mentorship and the pressure of perfection. She shares stories from her years working with Gordon Ramsay and Alain Ducasse, talks about opening restaurants “taking years off your life”, and explains why she now prioritises personality, diversity and joy in her kitchens. There’s also plenty of food talk, including how to roast chicken, the recipe for perfect roast potatoes, crisps, cheap sherry in trifle, and why fish and chips absolutely must come with the right malt vinegar (Sarsons, of course). Expect honesty, humour, culinary confessions, and a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of modern fine dining from one of Britain’s greatest chefs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Niklas Ekstedt on the Swedish cuisine, his biggest cookery confession and IKEA meatballs
2026-05-05 | 41 mins.
In this episode, we sit down with Michelin-starred chef Nicholas, who takes us on a journey from his childhood in rural northern Sweden — raised near the country's largest ski resort on the Norwegian border — to running a fire-only restaurant in Stockholm.
Nicholas shares how growing up among the Sami indigenous community shaped his cooking philosophy, why he refuses to use chocolate, lemon, or olive oil in his Stockholm kitchen, and how his mother's approach to buying 50 kilos of plums at the right price still influences his restaurant today.
We dig into the art of Swedish preservation — pickling, fermenting, and jamming everything from asparagus to cloudberries — and why Nicholas believes our obsession with "fresh at all costs" is a little bit mad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
