Simon Rimmer goes Across the Table with food and music on Scala Radio

Sunday Brunch host Simon Rimmer is joining Scala Radio for a special series where he looks at the unique pairing of food and music.

Across the Table with Simon Rimmer will see the chef celebrating good food and music on a journey to find the best pieces from the classical world, as well as discovering lesser-known gems that have a connection with food and drink.

Some of his favourite foodie friends such as Tom Kerridge, Clodagh McKenna, Paul Ainsworth and more will join him for conversations around the dinner table, ranging from kitchen hacks and food trends to budgeting and sustainability.

Simon said: “I am really excited to be joining Scala Radio for my very own show. Food and music are probably the two most important things in my life (apart from sleep, coffee and football) so I’m looking forward to learning more about the link between classical music and the world of food.

“It has also been fun to discover composers who had interesting eating habits – Rossini, Satie, Mozart… I’ve heard they had some weird foodie quirks that I’m going to share with the listeners.”

Across the Table with Simon Rimmer airs on Scala Radio 6-8pm across four Sundays, starting 4 September.
