Jamie’s Cursed Cookin’ - ft. Jonathan Nunn and Biz
Pukka! We’re dancing in the moonlight with the king of the English culinary world, Jamie Oliver. How did someone so cringe achieve such dizzying levels of fame and power? How did he end up being an unofficial advisor to Tonty Blair? Special guests Jonathan Nunn and Biz take us through Jamie’s Naked Chef years, the Downing Street years and the Jerk Rice years, via the extremely cursed Cookin’: Music To Cook By compilation CD. From New Labour and school dinners to the notorious Lamb Curry Song (complete with dodgy Jamaican accent), it’s a wild ride with the world’s most milquetoast indie soundtrack.
Jonathan Nunn is a writer and co-founder of online food magazine Vittles. He edited the brilliant London Feeds Itself.
Biz is Director of Resonance FM, and has written for the New Statesman, New York Times, The Nation, and the Times Literary Supplement.
