Cider Voice 21 - It took a whole bottle to be enough - with Fliss Freeborn

Our new year's resolution for 2024 is to double down on 'cider with food' content. With limited skill and dangerous enthusiasm, we turned to a proper professional to put us on the path to gastronomic glory. Fliss Freeborn is a Fortnum & Mason Award-winning food writer, the brains behind the blog Student Cuisine for the Gloomy Teen (Jay Rayner-endorsed, no less) and the Amused Bouche newsletter. She's a panellist on Radio 4's Kitchen Cabinet, has bylines for all sorts of national newspapers and in 2023 published the brilliant cookbook Do Yourself a Flavour. If Fliss can't level us up in the cider kitchen, who can? Armed with four ciders and perries – which Justin and Albert have to guess – Fliss has created four brilliant bespoke recipes. A four course feast for the cider chef that you can find in full here [Link to Recipes]. Along the way we chat about her journey to cooking and writing about it – everything from marble pantries to yellow labels and the nonna method. Albert is Head Chef @RossCider Adam tosses word salads @Cider_Review Justin boils over @justinwells1346
