Off the back of our amazing trip across South Africa with South Africa Tourism earlier this year, we’re going to spend an evening exploring, tasting and chatting about some of the country’s epic wines and food pairings!

We’ll be live on YouTube at 7pm BST on Thursday 1st October.

You can join us with a bottle of your favourite wine, or head to the link below to see what we’ll be drinking and even order tasters or full bottles for the full experience at home.

Remember – always drink responsibly.

Can our home cooks cook a proper meal without any hobs, ovens or conventional cooking equipment – ONLY microwaves, kettles and toasters?

With these limitations, they’ll need to get creative with techniques, ingredients and some seriously unconventional uses for kitchen appliances.

Turns out Ben thinks we bully him quite a lot… So to get some revenge, he’s feeding us some Chinese delicacies!

These are all perfectly legitimate foods, and are really popular in some parts of the world… But it’s fair to say that our Western tastes aren’t used to them.

What we want to know from you is… What should we eat next? What delicacies do your country have?

Can you actually taste the difference between a regionally protected food and an ordinary alternative?

In this taste test, we’re putting PDO/DOP-certified foods up against similar products that don’t carry the protected designation, but there’s a catch: no one knows which is which.

Chefs Ben and James are taking on Infinite Ingredient Drop, but this time there’s a Japanese twist!

They’ll have to create dishes while an endless stream of Japanese ingredients drop every 2 minutes which they must incorporate into a dish. From familiar favourites to more unusual ingredients, they won’t know what’s coming next, and every new addition could completely change the direction!
