Jay Rayner is going back on the road! Join the ever-tasteful, often hilarious, always readable writer and broadcaster as he celebrates 25 years as The Observer’s award-winning restaurant critic with the publication of Nights Out At Home, a memoir-in-recipes. Throughout his quarter of a century eating professionally in some of the world’s best (and frankly worst) restaurants, Jay has always reverse-engineered his favourite dishes; now he’s ready to share those brilliant recipes with you and his memories of the restaurants that served them.

In this joyfully greedy show, Jay answers the questions we’ve always wanted answered, put to him by a host of virtual star interviewers: what expertise does a restaurant critic need? What’s the best way to roast a chicken? Is he just an utterable snob? And if he’s so bloody clever, why doesn’t he just open his own damn restaurant? And you’ll get to ask your questions too.

Nights Out at Home Live is an uproarious, insightful, and butter-smeared journey through the life of a man with one of the most coveted jobs in the world.
