Food writer and broadcaster Rachel Khoo - author of the bestselling book The Little Paris Kitchen and its accompanying series - discusses her latest book, The Little Swedish Kitchen.

After quitting her job to move to Paris, Rachel graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and set up a pop-up restaurant in her minuscule flat. She only had room for two diners at a time but when dates were advertised on social media sites, they were often snapped up within 20 seconds.

Rachel has now bid farewell to her beloved Parisian kitchen and moved to Sweden in the pursuit of love. Having made the country her home, Rachel now lives in Sweden with her husband and young son. In her new book The Little Swedish Kitchen, Rachel shares over 100 delicious and seasonal Swedish recipes from her new little Scandi kitchen by the season - celebrating traditional fare, embracing local ingredients, exploring what the locals eat at home and offering her own fresh and delicious takes.

Bringing you the best of both worlds, Jo Whiley and Simon Mayo join forces to bring you three hours of the greatest guests, music and early evening entertainment. With top names from the worlds of film, TV and online, plus regular live sessions from the hottest names in music, Jo and Simon will bring you entertaining and compelling celeb chat each evening. Plus there'll be audience interaction, the freshest new music and great chat to accompany you in the early evening - whatever you're doing.
