Season 7: Episode 11: Chris Baber

8/23/2022

I met Chris Baber over food - of course - at an amazing party at Nobu full of the best canapes! We positioned ourselves right by the kitchen doors – in the firing line, and now it was time to get him over for a chat!

He went on to win a cooking competition on the BBC and went to work under Atul Kochhar, the Michelin starred chef in London. He talks about...

Season 7: Episode 10: Sabrina Ghayour

8/16/2022

I’ve followed Sabrina Ghayour’s career for a while now, and so it was a huge pleasure to finally have her on the podcast. She’s just launched her new cookbook, Persiana Everyday, which was a tough process to write as she wrote it through lockdown, whilst dealing with all the things complexities that have come with the last 2 years. It was also challenging to actually write down the recipes she was creating from her head, and working out measurements but she focuses on simple and delicious...

Season 7: Episode 09: Glyn Fussell

8/9/2022

I am so happy I have finally met the man himself, Glyn Fussell. And he came to my house. And he loves my granola! The LGBTQ+ trailblazer joined me to talk all about his epic brand and club night, Sink the Pink, co-founding the festival The Mighty Hoopla, and more recently his new podcast and debut book, Manifesto for Misfits. Glyn grew up in Bristol in a huuuuuge family – he’s one of seven! And it was so interesting to hear about his childhood growing up and the nostalgic dishes that take...

8/2/2022

Clodagh McKenna oozes the most joyful energy, she has the perfect sultry Irish accent, and she came with a signed cookbook for me. What more could you want?! Arriving straight from the This Morning studios, where she’d been whipping up delicious food, the self-proclaimed farmer runs an entire farm at her home in Hampshire. She has it all; animals, fruit and veg and even her own pub! Clodagh reminisces about her idyllic childhood in Ireland running around on the family farm, picking...

Season 7: Episode 07: Jo Malone CBE

7/26/2022

Every now and again I sit down with someone who has a profound effect on me. Jo Malone is one of those people. As the founder of Jo Malone London and Jo Loves, she is the queen of fragrance with her sixth sense of knowing how scents work, and putting different notes together to create some of the best smells in the world. This was an incredibly open and honest conversation, and at times emotional. It was also thought provoking and a lesson into seeing the world in a different way. Jo’s...

Season 7: Episode 06: Ken Hom

7/19/2022

I sat down with one of my childhood culinary heroes (and my dad’s!), Ken Hom. He recorded from his gorgeous house in France, where he splits his time between there and Thailand. Ken is one of the most celebrated TV chefs of our generation, bringing the flavours of Chinese cooking to our homes. We cover his life in food; how he got into the culinary scene and why he’s still traumatised from his first ever show on the BBC in the 80s! We both bond over the issues with food waste, how much we...

What an honour to have Asma Khan on this week’s podcast. The star – and only British and female chef to be featured on Chef’s Table on Netflix! Asma is a leader in the culinary world; speaking up about women in food, putting women in the kitchen and making space for us! She emotionally opens up to me about writing her new book, Ammu, and how it was a dedication to her mother, the love for her mother but also the acceptance of her mother and how she was loved as a child; through food. She...

Season 7: Episode 04: Eric Lanlard

7/5/2022

I absolutely loved sitting down with my good friend, Eric Lanlard, the French pâtissier extraordinaire. We recorded from his baking school in South West London, Cake Boy, which is the cake emporium you need to know about! Growing up in North West France, Eric knew what he wanted to do since he was 5 years old and signed up to his local patisserie to make sure he was taken on as an apprentice as a teenager. He regales incredible anecdotes from his time working for the French Navy on the...

Season 7: Episode 03: Shiza Shahid

6/28/2022

It was a pleasure to host Shiza Shahid at my home, the co-founder and owner of Our Place – the cookware brand taking the world by storm. But Our Place is a mere fraction of what this incredible woman stands for. She also co-founded the Malala Fund in 2013, and has fought for women’s rights and the right for education for young girls since she was a teenager. She is completely in line with my ethos when it comes to food and sharing moments together; the table is for everyone, regardless of...

Season 7: Episode 02: Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Richard Jones

6/21/2022

What better way to bring in episode 2 than with my first ever couple! And they’re not just any couple… Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones are the ultimate couple of all couples! They work together; Richard plays base in Sophie’s band, they parent together; they have 5 children (not 3, Hannah!! Listen in to hear my huge mess up!), and they have now written a cookbook together; Love Food Family! Is there anything these 2 can’t do?! We talk all about the new book, how they met each other...

I’M BACKKKK!!!!! And it feels so good! Thank you for sticking around this long! How are we onto Season 7 already?! I thought I’d treat you all and kick the season off in style, with the sultry tones of Grace Dent, the restaurant critic, broadcaster and author! I have officially given her the title of National Treasure; a name she is beyond excited to receive. She discusses her show with Ainsley Harriott, Best of Britain by the Sea.

This week I am joined by Edson Diaz-Fuentes and his wife Natalie Feary, the duo behind Santo Remedio.

Crazy Sexy Food X Taste Special Series: Genevieve Taylor

5/17/2022

Genevieve Taylor is a trooper! She had an injured leg but still went ahead with this recording, opting to lie horizontally throughout the entire episode! I love her! We debate our love for marmite, her idyllic childhood in Cornwall and beyond, and we bond over being inherently greedy women! She gives us some great tips and tricks for BBQing this summer (although we do talk about the fact BBQs aren’t just for summer, but all year round!) Genevieve discusses her bestselling book – Charred,...

What a character Rosemary Shrager is! Be prepared to laugh your way through this episode with her infectious laugh and wonderful sense of humour! She talks all about her new book – her first novel aptly named The Last Supper and the story behind the story. We bond over being introverted extroverts (if you can believe that!) and I ask her whether she’s suffered from any prejudice as a self-taught female chef. She opens up about her long-standing friendship with Pierre Koffmann and working...

What a charming chap musician Jack Savoretti is! It had been a long time coming but we finally sat down to talk all about his Italian heritage, childhood family dinners and some of his naughty food vices! He’s currently on tour so we talk all about finally being out there performing live, his new album, Europiana and he opens up about the music industry; the difficulties he overcame, the time he was asked to change his name as it wasn’t “British” enough (!) and he discusses stepping away...
