Johnny Ball revisits childhood haunts in Bristol with chef Brian Turner. Apart from his hunger for maths challenges in the classroom, he remembers the impact of ration-book Britain on the supply of sweets at his local corner shop! But there are fond memories too of the resourcefulness of his parents to give their son a healthy start in life, despite the odds.
Brian is inspired by Johnny's love of wartime delicacies like offal to cook one of his nostalgic dishes. For his tribute to Johnny, Brian combines the ingredients suggested in heartwarming stories of a life well lived.
