47 分钟We have a bonus episode for you today in the form of Nuno Mendes. Described as the chefs chef, Nuno has had an incredible career. He thought of becoming a marine biologist but quickly changed direction and after enrolling at culinary school, he's never looked back. He has worked with some of the world’s leading chefs, such as Wolfgang Puck before moving to London and opening the cult ground breaking Loft Project and world famous Chiltern Firehouse. His latest restaurant Lisboeta is an ode to his home country and has already made waves since it’s opening. Thank you so much to Comté Cheese for sponsoring this episode of Desert Island Dishes. Comté Cheese is genuinely one of my favourite cheeses in the world. It’s a delicious cheese to eat on its own, worthy of any cheese board but it’s also so brilliant to cook with. I love it with baked pasta, or gratins or the most amazing toasted cheese sandwiches. The taste and texture changes as it ages - so you get some young Comté that tastes buttery and almost with caramel notes and then more matured Comté is a bit more nutty and slightly fruity. So incredibly good. And the best news is they are now available at all major supermarkets.

This episode of Desert Island Dishes is sponsored by Comte Cheese, AKA one of my favorite cheeses in the world.
I'd been a longtime admirer of comte, but about 10 years ago now I got invited to the beautiful French mountain range that borders Switzerland on a compte press trip.
And we spent three days learning about the thousand year old artisan traditions and also eating copious amounts of cheese.
And it really was heaven.
Comte is a delicious cheese to eat on its own.
It's worthy of any cheese board, but it's also so brilliant to cook with.
I love it with baked pasta or in gratins or makes the most amazing toasted cheese sandwiches.
The taste and the texture changes as it ages, so you get some young compte that tastes really buttery and almost has caramel notes and then more matured.
Comte is a bit more nutty and slightly fruity in a way, so incredibly good.
And the best news is you can now find Comte at all major supermarkets.
Thank you very much to Comte Cheese.
Hi, I'm Margie Nomura and welcome to the Desert Island Dishes podcast.
This is the podcast where every week I ask my guests to choose their seven Desert island dishes.
These range from finding out about the dish that most reminds them of their childhood, the best dis dish they've ever eaten, and of course, the last dish they would choose to eat before being cast off to the desert island.
The question is, what would you choose as your last meal?
Hi, how are you all?
I hope everyone's having a good week.
This season of Desert Island Dishes has come to a close, but I wanted to give you one more episode before Christmas.
I really hope you enjoyed today's episode.
Thank you for all of your messages and comments and just general support for this season of the podcast.
