Here he tells Simon about selling fags to his pals as a schoolboy, the sneaky way he guaranteed a great review from formidable food critic Fay Maschler, his love of George Orwell and nightly scuffles with drug dealers outside his first restaurant. Richard is great value - though ready yourself for some colourful language!

Yotam Ottolenghi

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 ...
