It’s happening again: unfortunately this week the UK is going back into lockdown. Whilst that might mean you will not be able to dine out at your favourite restaurant or sip a drink at a bar, it does mean you can get creative at home. If you are looking for some inspiration to create a delicious treat, then there are some fantastic food and drink podcasts to help stimulate you to try something new.
