Butter Believe It – Summer's Here!

Well, apparently summer has arrived... although looking out of the window this week, we're not entirely convinced! Nevertheless, in true British fashion we've been making the most of it, dodging the showers and heading out to enjoy some of the best food and drink our local area has to offer. In this episode  we chat about visiting the South Downs Food Festival, shine a light on local vineyards ahead of English Wine Week, and celebrate the fantastic producers right on our doorstep. We're also putting Charlie's taste buds to the test with a blind butter tasting — all in the name of podcast research, of course! Along the way we'll be chatting about seasonal favourites, including broad beans and peas, sharing a few recipe ideas, and generally enjoying everything that makes this time of year so special. So grab a cup or glass of something refreshing, get comfortable and join us for another helping of Relish Lifestyle.

“From Porto to the Palace – A Right Royal Chin Wag”

Hello and welcome to Relish Lifestyle. Well we have definitely been Relishing Life over the past few weeks.  Charlie’s just back from the sunshine and food markets of Portugal and Tracy’s been enjoying the gardens and having tea at Buckingham Palace — so lots to chat about… Porto was Charlie’s destination this time getting involved with the ‘art scene’, checking out the local markets, and more of the northern part of Portugal.  Tracy shares what it’s really like to attend a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace as part of the King’s Trust 50th Anniversary celebrations. Tea at Buck House or at home - brings us nicely onto biscuits, yes another national day draws near - celebrating these crunchy addictable sweet treats the Brits love dunking in their brew - so what does make a truly good afternoon tea — and do you take milk or add mint  - a mighty summer herb that's worth a mention. So settle in with a cup of what you love… and let’s get into it.”

“A Relish Riddle: Ribeye, Robusta & Red”

Ribeye, robusta, and red… sounds like a shopping list—but we promise, there is a thread. We’re giving a high five to British beef farmers, talking wines worth raising a glass to, and asking—do we really know our onions? Plus, Charlie takes a quick coffee break…with a surprise guest. Expect the usual mix of banter, laughter, and debate - all in all another random chit chat the kind we Relish.

“Burnt Offerings: The Trend That’s Tickling the Taste Buds”

Intro:  This week, it’s all about bold flavours and brilliant finds—from artisan cheeses and food festivals to one of the biggest flavour trends right now… and yes, it involves burning things—on purpose.

Plus, we’re putting cabbage firmly back on the menu, and Charlie’s sharing an Easter bake, a seriously good cheesecake, and his take on the ultimate comfort dessert. So stay with us—this one’s full of flavour.
