Learning to cook in adulthood is daunting. We join one listener who is just starting out.

Listener Craig Birchley tries to achieve his dream of cooking an edible three course meal for his daughter, plus Ghillie Basan discusses the best way to learn to cook in adulthood.

Listener Craig Birchley loves food but by his own admission is a rubbish cook. Recently widowed, he very suddenly had to learn to cook and has had some very mixed results! His dream is to be able to cook a three course meal for his daughter. Chef and restaurateur Steven Devlin was on hand to give him a quick cookery lesson and The Kitchen Café - along with his daughter - were there to taste the results...

Learning to cook as an adult can be a daunting task, especially if you have children who rely on you, but with some simple building blocks or key recipes that you've mastered suddenly it doesn't seem so insurmountable. Cook and world food expert Ghillie Basan talks through the best building blocks to help you learn.
