Postbag

Jay Rayner and the panel tuck into questions from the postbag, from what to do with a glut of lychees, to caviar scepticism and whether flouring meat really matters

Jay Rayner and the Kitchen Cabinet panel return with a Postbag edition, answering questions sent in by you, the listeners.

Chefs, cooks and food writers, Jocky Petrie, Sophie Wright, Melek Erdal and Jeremy Pang, wrestle with a bumper serving of culinary dilemmas. Topics include, what you should do with two kilos of fresh lychees, whether flouring mean before browning is recommended or an unnecessary faff, and which kitchen gadgets are more trouble to clean than they鈥檙e worth.

Along the way they tackle fears of fish bones, scepticism about expensive caviar, complaints about the word 鈥渟mell鈥, and the perennial question of whether chefs lean too heavily on onions and garlic.
