Margie’s castaway this week is Pip McCormac.

Pip is the Lifestyle Director for Red Magazine, he oversees all the food and interiors content in the best-selling women's monthly title in its field. He formerly worked as the Food and Interiors Editor at Sunday Times Style and he has also created a recognisable voice for himself with his popular recipe review blog Pip Cooks The Books.

He has now published 2 beautiful books all about cooking with edible flowers and growing your own herbs.

I wanted to catch up with Pip and find out the inspiration for the books, all about his glamourous job and of course pick his brains about the best places to eat in London.

I don’t know about you but I need to make that delicious sounding 24 hours eating extravagnza in London happen immediately – sounds so good!

What are we all thinking about the unusual combination of peanut butter, tomato, cucumber and mint? There is never any judgement on this podcast and I vow to keep an open mind until I try it!

Thank you for listening and until next time – you can come and find me on instagram @madebymargie and you can read about other episodes at desertislanddishespodcast .com
