Gaby Roslin: "Pickles, pickles, pickles!"

Checkout Confessions

Available for over a year

Presenter, author, and ball of energy Gaby Roslin joins Matt Tebbutt as he rummages through her shopping basket. Before they even get to the basket, Gaby has already cracked open the pickled cucumbers - because apparently looking at a pickle without eating it simply isn't an option. She reveals a lifelong pickle obsession inherited from her family. She shares the story of how discovering a wheat allergy gave her the ability to breathe through her nose for the first time - and unlocked a superhuman sense of smell! From childhood ice cream runs in Zimbabwe to her mum's legendarily rock-hard roast potatoes, Gaby gets nostalgic about the food that shaped her, and makes a passionate case for pickled cucumbers dipped in vanilla ice cream (don't knock it till you've tried it).
