  • Hello, and welcome to the menu Monocle.

  • Radio's food and drink program.

  • I'm your host, Chia Rimela.

  • Coming up, we leaf through a book all about the joy of cooking for others.

  • I think in the book, I say cooking for people is an act of love.

  • And I think.

  • I believe that, and I think that it can be that in a restaurant as well.

  • Also on the program, we sample Estonia's finest wine bottles.

  • The berries that we're making, the wine of blackcurrants, cherries, pears, apples, everything.

  • So we've used them forever.

  • Plus, we head to Somerset to learn all about One hospitality venture's love for apples.

  • All that here on the menu on Monocle Radio.

  • Running a restaurant requires a chef to think about a million things at once, from sourcing to managing teams and hitting targets.

  • But the realities of the business shouldn't take away from the central instinct that leads most chefs into the profession.

  • The pleasure in creating dishes for others to enjoy.

  • That's the spirit at the heart of Cooking for People, a new cookbook by the chef at the helm of London's celebrated gastropub the Camberwell Arms.

  • In his book, Mike Davis has been especially generous with his approach, grouping his recipes into evocative menus that are both enticing and accessible for home cooks.

  • From cold northern waters to bright clear days and dappled shade, his poetically titled menus take a cue from the seasons and are inspired by dishes experienced dining around Europe and the British Isles.

  • Mike joined me in the studio to tell me more.
