Jay Rayner and a panel of expert chefs, cooks and food writers are in Brentwood, Essex answering questions from an audience of eager home cooks. Joining Jay to offer their tasty tidbits are food writers Mallika Basu, Melissa Thompson and Melek Erdal and chef Jocky Petrie.

The panel share the best ways to use up a glut of cucumbers, their favourite sweet and salty flavour combos, and disclose which foods they find themselves dreaming about. We also hear recipes for Kurdish cold soup, homemade fruit pastilles and cocktails fit for a best friend.

Situated in Brentwood, home to Kelvedon Hatch Nuclear Bunker, Jay chats to the owner Kevin Parrish about the food served at their underground canteen.

Producers: Dan Cocker and Dulcie Whadcock
