Listen "S5E12 Alex Pole"
Episode Synopsis
Our guest this week is at the forefront of a revival in the ancient craft of blacksmithing. Alex Pole has been forging creations from metal for over 30 years, and - for the best part of a decade, his focus has been on developing high end ironware for professional and amateur chefs around the world. Alex's dedication to using traditional methods to create practical but beautiful products has won him many fans and followers. In recent years, he's collaborated with chefs such as Nathan Outlaw and Thomasina Myers to write "The Forge Kitchen Cookbook". His latest book, simply titled "Blacksmith", brings to life the history and folklore of life in the trade throughout the ages.
