Chef and content creator Martyn Odell, known as Lagom Chef, talks about reducing food waste and cooking with confidence

The Good Food podcast

Chef and content creator Martyn Odell, known as Lagom Chef, joins Samuel Goldsmith to talk about his new cookbook, Eat the Food You Buy. Martyn's book is built around 15 everyday ingredients, the ones most likely to be thrown away. He explains how his 'mind maps' turn a single potato into 15 different meals, and why tasting at every step is the quickest way to learn to cook by instinct. He shares how ADHD shapes his creative process, how he went from an Edinburgh Fringe stage show to a Penguin cookbook, and why food photography without a stylist made the book feel more like him.
