And alongside food critics and writers I have huge respect for. Thank you to the stellar behind the scenes team @shinetelevision and to fellow critics @gracedent and @williamsitwel for making me feel so welcome on my first day. It was great fun. And especially to Grace for the 6am motivational voice note you left me – you are the best “
