This is our first time of having cooking taking place (almost) live on the airwaves!

Lots of rich conversation, cooking sounds and delicious sounding dishes from around the globe with music, memories and stories of ingredients flowed out from Resonance FM on Tuesday 8 December 2020.

Ros prepared her chicken soup throughout the show which focused on food and recipes. Residents of Lewisham Homes remembered their favourite meals, and Delitia shared suggestions for the perfect rice and peas. We also heard about the harvesting of yam in Ghana, and learned about the Yam Step from Fred Astaire!

Ros wanted to share her recipe for Chicken Soup with you so here it is:
