What does a Michelin starred chef have after a night on the beers? Find out as Paul Ainsworth reveals all to Simon on this latest episode of Grilling. (Clue: not cavia.) Paul cut his teeth under the late Gary Rhodes before working for Gordon Ramsay and later Marcus Wareing. Then, in 2006, he and two friends opened a restaurant, which he and his wife Emma now own and run themselves. Paul Ainsworth at Number 6 in Padstow was awarded its star in 2013, and he also oversees local Italian favourite...

Simon is joined by two real men of the people on our latest episode of Grilling - the funny, warm and exceedingly talented Hairy Bikers. With a background in film and television production, Dave Myers and Si King met on the set of The Gambling Man back in 1992. Having struck up a friendship, they made their first appearance on our screens in 2004 with The Hairy Bikers Cookbook, and have since gone on to make numerous shows - seeing them travel all over Britain and the world on their trusty...

It's fair to say Simon has one of Britain's top chefs on this latest episode of Grilling. Marcus Wareing famously worked hand-in-glove with Gordon Ramsay for many years, earning several Michelin stars along the way. After what one can only describe as an acrimonious parting of the ways, he opened ‘Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley’ back in 2010, now known simply as Marcus, where he is Chef Patron. He’s also made numerous television appearances on shows like Masterchef: The Professionals and The...

It's one of Britain's best-loved and most charismatic chefs on this latest episode of Grilling, as Simon is joined by the legend that is Ainsley Harriott. Ainsley has been a regular on our screens since the 90s with classic shows like the groundbreaking 'Ready, Steady, Cook' and 'Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook' - as well as a host of specials including 'Ainsley’s Barbecue Bible'. Ainsley is a best-selling author with over 2 million books sold worldwide, and as if that weren't enough he just so...

This week, Simon is grilling the brilliant Rachel Khoo. A style icon and entrepreneur, Rachel was an instant hit with her TV Show The Little Paris Kitchen, which saw her preparing dishes in her tiny Belleville flat and at various locations around the French capital. She has since filmed food shows around the world and released several books. Now based in Stockholm, she's learned to make a mean moose stew, and invokes the spirit of Sweden with tales of perch fishing, pickled pink onions and...

Our second outing on Grilling sees the inimitable Gok Wan join Simon to discuss his lifelong relationship with food. His dad may have owned a Chinese restaurant, but Gok earned his spurs in an altogether different field as a makeup artist and fashion stylist whose success prompted Channel 4 to invite him to present 'How To Look Good Naked'. Gok has always maintained his passion for cooking throughout his career, and is himself supremely handy in the kitchen! We find out how this passion...

In our very first episode of Grilling, Simon is joined by the one-and-only Nadiya Hussain. Nadiya rose to fame after winning The Great British Bake Off in 2015 - who can forget her Big Fat British Wedding cake? - and has since gone on to become a hugely popular TV presenter and author. In 2017, she was named by Debrett's as one of the 500 most influential people in the UK, which is quite the meteoric rise from her humble Luton origins. It's been an extraordinary journey.
