BBC Radio 4 - The Food Programme, A Special (Food) Relationship

Mark Bittman, chief food writer at the New York Times, meets three campaigning UK chefs.

Chief food writer at the New York Times Mark Bittman sets off on a food journey to see what he can learn from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Jamie Oliver and Arthur Potts Dawson.

Mark Bittman is a high-profile figure in the United States. He's the chief food writer for the New York Times, a broadcaster, and a bestselling author.

Keen to understand the differences between the British and American food systems, one day he made a call out of the blue to Sheila Dillon. Once in London, he fixed up meetings with Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Arthur Potts Dawson.

The Food Programme joins Mark on his personal journey into the world of the campaigning chef.

Produced by Rich Ward.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
