We ask about food memories and favourite recipes, must have ingredients, and the dishes that represent comfort, celebration, or adventure – and find out a lot more about our guests in the process. Hi Alison, how you doing? Alison 00:36 I'm alright, thank you. Hello Jimi, how are you? Jimi 00:39 I'm good. I'm really good. You're sort of giggling almost already. And I think maybe you're laughing to yourself because you've been up to your old tricks and sending me things in the post to try. But I'm really happy about these – happy about all of them, but particularly happy because you've sent me some biscuits. Alison 00:58 I have! It's time for something sweet. I know you think I just eat vegetable sticks. But you know, these are biscuits – they’re gorgeous coffee and cardamom ones. Jimi 01:09 Do you know what? I've already taken some out of the packet and they smell incredible. Tell me a bit more about these. They’re coffee and cardamom shortbread? Alison 01:17 Inspired by Turkish coffee.

  • Confirmed: Birmingham 2022 Will Be First Major Multi-Sport Event to Award More Medals to Women Than Men
    Media Release: Wednesday 21 October 2020 Confirmed: Birmingham 2022 will be first major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men ● Publication of Birmingham 2022 medal event programme confirms there are 136 medal events for women and 134 for men; ● Biggest ever integrated para sport programme also confirmed; ● A record number of mixed events including diving, swimming relays and para-athletics relays. ● Milestone marked by day of talks featuring Lady Mary Peters, Katharine Merry, Hannah Cockroft MBE, and many more female athletes. The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will make global sport history by becoming the first ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men. The medal event programme, published today, confirms there will be 136 medal events for women and 134 for men. This will see the Birmingham 2022 Games go one step further than the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 2018, when there were an equal number of medals for women and men. Birmingham 2022’s sports programme includes T20 cricket for women for the first time at a Commonwealth Games, with eight teams competing at the internationally renowned Edgbaston Stadium. There will be 13 mixed events, more than ever before, including synchronised 3m springboard diving and synchronised 10m platform diving, swimming relays, and para athletics relays. 10km race walks for men and women, which will take place on the track at the redeveloped Alexander Stadium, have also been added to the athletics programme. This will give athletes like Team England’s Tom Bosworth, who won silver in the 20km road version of the event at the Gold Coast 2018 Games and World Junior 10km race walking champion, Callum Wilkinson, the chance to compete at more than one major championships in the summer of 2022.
