Jay Rayner and the expert panel are answering questions from an audience of food lovers in Eastleigh, Hampshire with inspiration for carrot-based dishes and inventive ways of cooking with pears.

They help conjure suppers out of corner-shop finds, explain the art of preparing sweetbreads and tap into the area’s maritime heritage as they sail through the history of dining on the high seas.

On this week’s panel are chefs, cooks and food writers Jocky Petrie, Sophie Wright and Shelina Permalloo, alongside resident food historian Dr Annie Gray.
