From school dinners to sofa snacks – food has a huge part to play in shaping our story - and your favourite celebs have some delicious tales to tell. Join Grace Dent and celebrity guests as she throws the cupboard doors open and chats life through food. Expect to hear from guests (actors from TV, movie, theatre and film; sportspeople, comedians, chefs…) such as: Katie Price, Jamie Laing, Natalie Cassidy, Kathy Burke, Jon Ronson, Shirley Ballas, Nadiya Hussain, James Norton, Graham Norton, Jamie Demetriou, Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Amma Asante, Jay Blades, Michelle DeSwarte, Gaz Coombes, Georgia Pritchett, Fern Brady, Jayde Adams, Adam Kay, Jaime Winstone, Malorie Blackman, Dawn O’Porter, Neneh Cherry, Greg Rutherford, Goldie, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, Marian Keyes, Rufus Wainwright, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Big Zuu, Eddie Marsan, Self Esteem, James May, Guy Garvey, Dave Myers, Jo Brand, Craig David, Bernardine Evaristo, Tom Watson, Rosie Jones, Laura Whitmore, Desiree Burch, Russell Tovey, Stephen Fry, Deborah Meaden, Munya Chawawa, Aisling Bea, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Candice Carty-Williams, Lawrence Chaney, Siobhán McSweeney, Scarlett Moffatt, Joanne McNally, Mae Martin, Rafe Spall, Nish Kumar, Bridget Christie, Mary McCartney, Keith Brymer Jones, Adjoa Andoh, Tamsin Greig, Tom Kerridge, Katherine Ryan, Golda Rosheuvel, Suranne Jones and, David Baddiel, Amol Rajan and Russell T Davies. Comfort Eating is a one-to-one interview. In Grace’s kitchen, her guests discuss their lives in the context of food, cooking and cuisine. They talk about comfort food and snack recipes. The tone of the podcast is: warm, comforting, chatty, feel good, cheering, heart warming, comical and amusing. It’s inspiring but also escapism. It’s funny, comedy, laugh out loud / LOL, entertaining, humourous, inspirational, hilarious, illuminating, memorable, uplifting, soothing, reassuring, cheery and entertaining. Expect to hear humour, discussion, gossip and revelation. Grace's new Comfort Eating book, inspired by the podcast, is out now. It’s a wonderfully scrumptious, life-affirming journey through the foods that really mean the most to us.

  • Disgruntled BA traveller
    Really annoying with her horrible voice
    One to avoid. Worst ads on other podcasts
  • sallygorp
    Can’t listen
    I have misophonia so can’t with the eating sounds.
  • Not_your_average_Aoife
    One of my favourite podcasts!
    This podcast is one that I listen to as soon as it pops into my feed! I think Grace does a fantastic job with digging deep, but still managing to keep things fun with her interview questions. Highly recommend this to all out there!
  • RawkstarMom71
    Lovely surprise
    I have always loved Grace, but even more so now! I love the personal stories of her guests and it’s so sweet and funny how she interacts with them. Love this podcast! Please please please interview Roison Conaty!!! ❤️❤️
  • Meg in San Diego
    Laughing & Crying & So Much More!
    Fell in love with Grace’s writing for the Guardian and the comments of her legion of followers during the pandemic. Like her writing, this podcast interview brought a little bit of everything emotionally! As an American I haven’t experienced fish paste, a bit confused about the yellow Panto mug but when it comes to sharing the good & the bad emotions of life-well no need for translations!Thanks Grace & Russell
