Description

Jose Souto didn’t plan to become one of Britain’s leading experts in game cookery — but the House of Commons kitchen changed everything.

In this episode of Order Order!, Terry Wiggins sits down with his old colleague and friend to explore Jose’s remarkable journey: from a struggling student to a chef, teacher, author, falconer, and passionate advocate for sustainable food.

Jose opens up about the discipline and camaraderie of life at Parliament, why teaching changed him forever, how a side project turned into a bestselling book series (The Game Larder), and how mentoring students gave him the same sense of purpose he once found in the kitchen.
