Sat, 02 Aug 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode I trade kitchen stories and cooking secrets with the wonderful Kate Holbrook.

Kate is a creative force, original founder of cashmere recyclers Turtle Doves, and one of my very first students back when I got started with my intuitive cooking workshops.

Kate shares her gentle, slow-burning journey from feeling hesitant in the kitchen to confidently whipping up delicious, imaginative meals.

Kate shares her refreshingly honest take on building confidence with food, how following intuition made shopping and cooking way less stressful, and why sometimes the simplest meal will always be her favourite. You’ll also hear thoughts on cooking with fire and baking fish, clever ways to use up odds and ends, and why noticing smells and textures can make all the difference.

It's a heartfelt conversation full of relatable insights, fun anecdotes, and practical inspiration for making home cooking easier, tastier, and more joyful. Tune in and join us - it’s a good one!

Flavours, Failures, and Finding Joy

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 18:30:00 +0000

In this episode I sit down with freelance journalist and home-cook-in-training Elle Hunt.

Known for her articulate and thoughtful writing in The Guardian, Elle talks about her personal journey of learning to cook and the mindset shift that got her into the kitchen. She shares candid insights about how living alone and dealing with work burnout led her to see food as more than just fuel.

From self-proclaimed terrible cook to actually enjoying preparing her own meals, she talks about how she got started by experimenting with simple recipes and building a relationship with reliable cookbook authors, that led her to find confidence in her cooking abilities.

Our conversation also touches on the importance of having essential ingredients on hand, the value of trying new recipes for personal growth, and how cooking fits into her life as a home-working freelancer. We also discuss food culture and perfectionism and how that shapes our attitudes, in cooking and beyond.

The episode is full of relatable stories and crash-tested practical tips - a goldmine for anyone looking to explore or improve their own home cooking skills.

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Joining me at the kitchen table to dive into the heart of everyday home cooking I have a very special guest: John Kanell.

A former maths teacher turned YouTube personality, John is known for his simple, practical recipes designed for busy families, inspired by his mum's experimental cooking and fuelled by the diverse culinary influences of his Mexican, Greek, and French Canadian heritage.

John's cooking (and baking!) philosophy is all about curiosity, learning through doing, and staying flexible. In our conversation he shares his insights on involving children in the kitchen, hosting stress-free dinners, and creating everyday meals that feel special yet doable.

He also shares tips for turning leftovers into something exciting and the magic of a well-stocked pantry. We discuss his new cookbook, his take on super easy, minimal effort meals, and the importance of ‘meal-maker’ ingredients, and he also shares his best tips for versatile baking projects.

Whether you're looking to simplify weeknight dinners or add more flair to your cooking, I think John's unique blend of practicality and creativity offers something fresh for everyone - no wonder his Youtube channel is so wildly popular!
