In this episode of Always in Season I am joined by social entrepreneur, award-winning chef, and author Simon Boyle. 

Here we delve into how Simon Boyle is helping to bring vulnerable people into the food industry by using the hospitality industry in a positive way, his journey to Sri Lanka to help local communities after the devastation of the tsunami, the unique cookery book he created during lockdown with top chefs from across the globe including Rick Stein and Michel Roux Jnr to help raise money for those in the hospitality sector, how certain meats can help with mental health and so much more.
