In Conversation with TV Producer/Presenter and Food, Drink & Travel Writer, Andy Clarke
In this November 2023 episode of The Cutlery Club Conversations I am chatting with the delightful food and drink writer, Andy Clarke.
Andy is also well known as a Television Producer, having worked on some brilliant programmes like Saturday Kitchen and one of my absolute faves, Gordon, Gino and Fred. He also presents the summer day festivals, Pub in the Park so rubbing shoulders with top celebs is second nature to him. Thankfully, he remains as down to earth as ever and was still happy to hang out with little ole me in his favourite Bristol restaurant, Little French owned by one of his close friends, Freddy Bird.
A first for Andy in April 2024 is a place on the judging panel - alongside the eminent Ken Hom - of the Golden Chopsticks Awards, co-founded by Gok Wan and now considered one of the food industry’s hottest tickets. The 2024 awards will take place at Royal Lancaster London on Monday 29th April 2024. It's the most fabulous night out so book your tickets and rub shoulders with some of the most exciting people in the food and drink industry, including this gorgeous man, who is always happy to say 'hi' and have a selfie with everyone.
You can often catch him on the Alan Titchmarsh show, Love your Weekend, effortlessly knocking up delicious cocktails and advising us on all the top tipples. His recent Cocktail book, Home Bar was a triumph, so naturally the follow up House of Gin is much anticipated, so keep your eyes peeled for that in May.
We eat, drink, chat and giggle, whilst talking food, wine, music, tv, fave celebrity friends from Angela Hartnett to Ken Hom; before moving on to the secrets to a good marriage. It’s all in there, so dive in folks!
I can't imagine anyone not enjoying the bubblicious energy of Andy Clarke. He is a joy to be around. Genuine, kind, funny and honest. I do hope you enjoy listening.
[A quick heads up, there’s background noise aplenty – it’s a busy restaurant after all – you may feel it adds to the ambience, or it might drive you nuts – let’s hope it’s the former!]
