Snippets from Olive Magazine  interview!

“Meet Kiran Jethwa, the star of Channel 4’s new show Extreme Food. Discover what his favourite country to visit for foodie inspiration is, what his perfect Sunday looks like and what he’s always got stashed away in his fridge”

My favourite wine is…

1976 Gattinara from the vineyard Antonio Vallana e Figlio in the Piedmont Region of Italy. The grape is Nebbiolo, and it’s is the King of Nebbiolo wines. I was given a bottle (my vintage 1976) for my birthday some time ago and it was simply outstanding. Nothing has ever come close. The wines from this vineyard are very special to me and again, outstanding.

in my fridge there’s always…

A very good quality, extremely hot chilli sauce – usually homemade. I have a recipe that combines Scotch Bonnet, Habanaro and Bird’s Eye chilis, all smoked, and turned into fiery magic!

my favourite 15-minute supper to make at home is…

It only takes 15 minutes to prepare, but a good hour to cook. A classic roast chicken, with roasted spuds, carrots, and good gravy!

my guilty pleasure food is…

A really good quality almond croissant with a very large and equally good quality cappuccino with Kenyan coffee beans, of course. I think it’s one of the world’s greatest combinations!”
