On this episode of Beyond the Pass we sit down with chef Adam Hardiman for a brilliant and vulnerable conversation about kitchens, sobriety and survival. Adam has nearly 30 years of experience including owning and operating the Dalston staple that was Madame Pigg. A recovering addict, Adam’s time in kitchens has gone from chaos to calm. Tune in to hear his insight on walking through hard feelings, getting humbled in recovery and the best meal he has had in the past month (spoiler it's his own eggs on toast.)
In this episode we are sitting down with the marvellous Hebe Richardson. Prior to graduating King’s as a registered nutritionist, Hebe was a restaurant human through and through, working in both back and front of house roles. Their industry experience has deeply informed their practice as a nutritionist and they continue to work in different corners of the industry, focusing on the ‘why’ of our relationship to food and health. Tune in to hear the infinite wisdom of a HAES approach to nutrition, the delight of food in Yorkshire (thank you mushy peas) and the inane absurdity of calorie counts on menus across the land!
A special shoutout to Hebe's Hospitality Heroes in no particular order - Nigella Lawson, Nigel Slater and Ruby Tandoh (and an honourable mention to the burrata at Forza Wine)
On this episode we sit down with the brilliant chef Pratap Chahal. Pratap spent a decade in some very prestigious kitchens and then changed course to take an alternative approach to a career in food.

A recipe & product developer and private chef - Pratap’s focus on pure unbridled hospitality is truly inspiring. Tune in to hear us dissect the baptism of fire of starting a kitchen career in Claridges, the necessity of modelling vulnerability and the icon status of beloved pop queen Pink.
