Inside the Factory returns with a Christmas special focussing on, you guessed it, chocolate factories! Presenter Cherry Healey tells us how she got to live out her childhood dream…
On Sunday 22 December, Inside the Factory returns for its ninth series and they kick things off with a Christmas special, which sees Cherry Healey, historian Ruth Goodman and new co-presenter, Paddy McGuinness head to Belgium.
Healey visits another chocolate factory to see how white chocolate is made. It was, she says, a dream come true. Not least because she loves chocolate. “I always put my chocolate in the fridge. At the moment, I'm really into chocolate covered caramel discs. In the evening I take them out of the fridge and have with a cup of tea.”
“I think we sometimes take for granted that we have such an amazing selection in this country. And to see where it’s come from, to see the farmers that are growing it, the effort that goes into it and the process of how it gets onto our table, is fascinating. People feel very close to the food they eat.”Healey says the festive special is her favourite from the new series.
“The whole experience was as good as you think it might be. It was so magical. It was as close to visiting Willy Wonka’s factory as I could get.”In series seven, Healey got to head to another sweet-based factory, this time jaffa cakes. “It’s one of my favourite episodes, purely just for the indulgence.
“We did that with the wonderful Dr Stua, our food scientist.” Healey learnt that to create a moist turkey you should add a tray of ice to the oven at the same time as the turkey because it turns to steam, creating a sauna-effect.“I loved both these episodes, partly because I then go and use all those tips at home when I'm making my Christmas lunch, but also because at the end of the filming day, you get to sit down with the crew and have a Christmas lunch together and it's really jolly.
“If you think about how many sandwiches there are every single day in every single shop, in every single town, it's a staggering amount. And this new startup is using bread instead of barley to make beer and the beer is amazing, it doesn't taste of bread at all. It's so clever.
