John Torode

Who better to invite to prepare a dish on a Weber Genesis barbecue than John Torode? The loveable Aussie joins Simon to discuss his culinary upbringingin his homeland, his disastrous first restaurant, why he made the move to the UK, working for the visionary entrepreneur Terence Conran, and, of course, the joys of Masterchef.

Yotam Ottolenghi

Welcome to the brand new season of Grilling in association with Weber Barbecues - the podcast in which Simon Rimmerspeaks to the world's best chefs about theirpassion for food, cooking, and the hospitality business. And, in an exciting change from our previous series, we're not getting our guests totalkabout what they'd make on a Weber Grill - but actually do it.

First up is Yotam Ottolenghi. Born in Israel, Yotam is often credited with popularising Middle Easter cuisine, though he's far too humble to accept that claim. We discuss his journeyfrom Jerusalem to London restaurateur, via a sleazy Amsterdam hotel.

And you can watch him prepare his beautiful hasselback beetroot with lime leaf butter on a Genesis barbecue here, so you can impress your friends when they come round for a cook-up at the weekend ...
