Homo Sapiens

147: Yotam Ottolenghi | Part 1


Listen Later

Hello listeners. Welcome to a brand new series of Homo Sapiens! 


This season's theme is… YOU - our listeners! I’ll be having a gas with all the same LGBTQ+ icons that you have come to expect from Homo Sapiens, but we’ll also be chatting to you delightful lot, talking about the things that matter to you, asking you to choose the guests, and of course there will be a healthy splash of agony uncle-ing.


And who better to kick things off with than the w-onderful Yotam Ottolenghi who so many of you have asked us to chat to over the years. Most of us know Yotam as a world famous chef, restaurateur & writer, but it’s perhaps lesser known that he’s also a leading light in LGBTQ+ parenting. In an article he wrote for The Guardian he called the day he told the world that he’d had a son via surrogacy his 'second coming out’. So this week he swings by Homo Sapiens for a chat about cooking, parenting, bucking the trend of hyper-masculinity in kitchens, and how everything he does centres around one big queer family. It’s a delightful chat with a delightful man. Chris. x
