The Filling with Anna Barnett

Amelia Freer Makes a Hero Sandwich


Listen Later

Chatting to Anna this week, for episode 3 of her new podcast The Filling, is nutritionist and best-selling author Amelia Freer. Anna and Amelia bond over a shared ‘cooking as meditation’ philosophy with Amelia explaining how positive nutrition should be about what you include in your diet, and not what you exclude.

Beige foods are also discussed as well as the best hangover meals (tuna mayonnaise and sweetcorn for Amelia). We also learn how a tenure working for Prince Charles shaped a shift in Amelia’s lifestyle and, despite its nutritional benefits, you won’t find her drinking a turmeric latte.
