Exploring the increasing passion for coffee, plus perfect polenta and plum clafoutis.

Clare English explores the increasing passion for all things coffee, plus Mary Contini demonstrates how to create perfect polenta and Christopher Trotter makes plum clafoutis.

From beans to brewing and from roasting to grinding, Clare English and the team explore our increasing passion for coffee. How vibrant is the coffee culture in Scotland today?

Do you know your Kenyan from your Colombian? Master Roaster John Thompson shows Clare how to taste coffee and helps her unpick the subtle differences in flavour between one country's coffee and another.

Master Roaster John Gartley demonstrates how he's attempting to encapsulate Glasgow in a coffee cup. Which elements are important to bring in and what will the final roast taste like?!

I want to love polenta but...! How many of us have polenta in the cupboard but are unsure of how to make it or what to pair it with? Cook and food writer Mary Contini gives us a step by step guide for cooking polenta to perfection and advises on the best ways to use it in the kitchen.

Chef and writer Christopher Trotter demonstrates how to make plum clafoutis.
