Hi everybody, welcome to the April newsletter. As I write this in Los Angeles, we are enjoying some cold weather, but I hope you are all starting to emerge from winter and thawing out for a great spring. I hope that everyone is watching Guy Fieri’s Tournament of Champions -- new episodes premier at 8 pm on the Food Network every Sunday in April and stream on Discovery +. If not, do go and binge on the early episodes and catch up. The rest of the series is just amazing. Don’t miss it. And, if you are watching Tournament of Champions, follow me on Twitter as I tend to do some live tweeting when my travel schedule arrives. Join me on the fun. Also, I am about to head into the studio to record the next season of my food history podcast, Eat My Globe. I get many requests asking for new episodes. It can be hard as the research and writing of each season, including the interviews is almost as much work as writing a book, and I have to fit it in alongside my other endeavors. But, this is a great season with some fun subjects and some of the very best interviews. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Finally, do give this month’s recipe a try, and let me know if you do. See you all in May. Simon
