Tom Allen: "Parsley jazzes everything up!"

Comedian, presenter, and author Tom Allen joins Matt Tebbutt as he rummages through his shopping basket.

As an aspiring rustic French housewife, Tom shares his belief that flat leaf parsley is the ultimate garnish, makes a passionate case for nigella seeds as a game-changing store cupboard hero, and confesses to paying extortionate prices for chestnuts he was too scared to use.

He shares his nostalgia for frozen French bread pizzas, and tells us why he races to the supermarket before lunchtime to grab a rotisserie chicken.

Plus, find out how a Cordon Bleu cookbook from a dodgy book man and a teenage love of the film Amélie shaped his lifelong romance with food.
