    Welcome to another episode of What’s The Story? Hash Brown Glory…


    We’re your hosts, Tom Bower and Lee Harding!


    Whilst RKD is still in the process of being rebuilt, we’ve been very lucky to use the OAC in Loughborough to record this incredible episode with our latest guest…


    This week, we’re joined by the lord of the pies, Jamie Oliver’s ‘Pie King’, Calum Franklin!


    Author of ‘The Pie Room’, the mastermind of pies at The Georgian (Harrods) and insanely talented chef, Calum visited us on the pod to talk about many things, but mainly…pies! What else?!


    We were in our element for this one, as you all know, we’ve got a soft spot for pastry! We dive into the nitty gritty behind what makes a great pie and so much more. We learn about Calum’s background and journey into food and what’s coming next…
