Emma Freud meets Andi Oliver
Andi Oliver is a powerhouse. Host of BBC Two’s Great British Menu, star of BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet and BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen Live, she has now launched Andi’s Wadadli Kitchen – a multi-pronged movement to celebrate Caribbean recipes and challenge age-old gastronomic stereotypes. We met, and cooked together, on Zoom. This woman is an actual dynamo.
Emma: So, why Wadadli?
People have this weird idea about Caribbean cooking; that there’s jerk chicken, rice and peas, coleslaw – and that’s your lot. It’s quite difficult to get really good Caribbean food unless you go to a Caribbean household. A lot of the time even when you go to a Caribbean restaurant, it’s generally pretty poor. The last time Igood.
