Flavour

Email the Show

Flavour is the fortnightly show dedicated to food and drink produced and enjoyed in and around the city and South Cambridgeshire.

We’re with you fortnightly on Saturdays at noon, with a repeat the following day at 2pm. You can also find us on the RadioPlayer app and Apple Podcasts.

We tell you about what is available locally, in specialist food stores, cafes, restaurants, and wine merchants. We interview local brewers, growers, beekeepers, bakers and market stallholders. We find out about good cookbooks, and discuss health and nutrition myths with experts. We also investigate the politics of food, looking at food hygiene checks, food banks, city council’s policies on street food.

There is a regular what’s on guide and a review of the food items in the Saturday quality press.

Flavour is presented by Matt Bentman, Alan Alder, Dr Sue Bailey, Rosie Applin and Louise Wilson.

On Radio: Saturday 21st July 12:00 - 13:00

The Cambridgeshire Cookbook Second Helpings is just published. We speak to the chefs about their recipes. A new company is producing top-rated produce, we meet Seed to Feed. More on those guilty food secrets, why do top chefs enjoy hot dogs, pot noodles and the like? Also, Alice Archer on wine and we look at the new edition of Where Chefs Eat. Presented by Matt Bentman and Alan Alder.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are listening to Cambridge 105 Radio than ever but in a competitive media landscape it’s sometimes difficult to make a noise. And advertising revenues are falling across the sector.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves, who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, whose businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

Please help to support community radio and make our future more secure. You can support Cambridge 105 Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution through Local Giving.

Thank you.

Volunteer

Cambridge 105 Radio needs its team of volunteers to keep it running. Everything from finances to programming is managed by people who willingly give up their time to do something they enjoy – being involved in community radio.
