0:00.0	This season of Desert Island dishes is sponsored by Moulden Salt, the finest natural sea salt flakes handcrafted from the British coastline.
0:08.3	They are, quite frankly, the masters of salt, putting craft care and passion into everything they do.
0:14.6	You only have to read one of my recipes to know that I use Mold and Salt every single day for all of my cooking. To say I am a fan
0:23.2	is an understatement. So to be working with them this season is a dream come true. I'm often asked
0:29.4	about the secret to getting better at cooking and my answer is honestly always the same. It comes down
0:35.1	to seasoning and not just as an afterthought. You have to season at every stage
0:40.2	and that's why I love mould and salt. It's light and delicate due to the soft and crunchy pyramid
0:46.4	shape flakes and it's just the easiest way to take simple dishes to the next level. Trust me,
0:53.0	your cooking life will not be the same. Thank you very
0:56.2	much to Molden Salt. Hi, how are you all? Welcome back to the mini episode or side dish, as we

1:22.4	This is a game I've always played, and I know everyone will have their own answers. We have a returning guest for you this week with the lovely Melissa who is just always
1:31.8	a ray of sunshine and I was so happy to be able to catch up with her and hear all about
1:37.0	her dream dinner party. Her episode of Desert Island Dishes was several years ago now, but
1:41.8	these conversations are evergreen. So really, the hope is that you can
1:46.6	go back and relisten or catch up for the first time. And it really doesn't matter that it wasn't
1:51.6	recorded this year. Thank you so much for listening. And without further ado, here is Melissa's
1:57.9	dream dinner party. I was a private chef about 15 long years ago, and so for a long time I couldn't cook a dinner
2:06.6	party because it just felt too much like work and me constantly trying to not follow the
