It's an absolute culinary titan on our latest episode of Grilling, as Marco Pierre White joins Simon to discuss his career - and prepare seared lamb chops and salmon a la plancha with ketchup vinaigrette in real life! Lucky Simon ...

Arguably the finest chef the UK has ever produced, Marco walks us through his career in intoxicating style, from his humble beginnings in Leeds to spearheading the restaurant revolution on these shores in the late 80s and beyond. He stepped away from the kitchen at 38, but did more in his relatively short stint in professional kitchens than most dream of achieving in a lifetime, 

You can watch him prepare his surf and turf dish on a Weber Genesis barbecue at weber.com/grilling - along with recipes by Yotam Ottolenghi, Andi Oliver and John Torode.

Who better to invite to prepare a dish on a Weber Genesis barbecue than John Torode? The loveable Aussie joins Simon to discuss his culinary upbringing in his homeland, his disastrous first restaurant, why he made the move to the UK, working for the visionary entrepreneur Terence Conran, and, of course, the joys of Masterchef.

We then send him into the garden to grill a whole wild sea bass with seaweed and lemon butter and potatoes, which you can watch in full HERE

It's a welcome return to the podcast for Andi Oliver, who not only joined Simon in a beautiful West London home for a chat - but also to cook her delicious bush tea brined tamarind molasses barbecue chicken on a Weber Genesis Barbecue. For that's what we're asking our guests to do in this latest season of Grilling - and you can watch the video HERE, as well as the one with our previous guest, Yotam Ottolenghi.

Among the subjects up for discussion with Andi are her culinary heritage, growing up in the RAF, the origins of jerk chicken, and what she and her best pal Neneh Cherry would make for Simon if he ever popped round for dinner.
