Crazy Sexy Food

Pinch me! I cannot believe Estelle came to my home, sat on my sofa and spent some time chatting all about life with little old me! I was – and still am – a huge fan of Estelle’s; she really defined the UK music scene in the early noughties. 

Fresh from LA, Estelle joins me this week to talk all about her new music, life growing up in London as one of NINE siblings, and the chance meeting she had with John Legend and Kanye West, which changed the trajectory of her career. 

I love Estelle’s laid back attitude to life, she’s bringing that real LA living energy to the episode, so I hope you love this one as much as I do.

I’m so excited to be working with Wayfair.co.uk for season 12! Why? Because just like great food, a beautiful home should be full of personality, quality, and joy. Wayfair has everything to bring your dream space to life, at prices that make it simple. That’s why I’m proud to partner with them. So, get it out of your head, and into your home with Wayfair.co.uk.

Welcome back and welcome to Season 12 of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast! I took a little break this year to focus on other exciting parts of the brand, but I’m back bigger and better than ever! We have a new set up, an array of incredible guests and exciting, meaningful conversations all around food, life and everything inbetween.

We kick this season off with Emily English – aka Em the Nutritionist. She’s taken the world by storm with her easy to follow, delicious recipes, her two Sunday Times bestselling books and her incredibly informative nutritional knowledge.

I’m a huge fan of Em’s and have interviewed her several times now. In this episode we talk all about her journey to getting where she is now, her childhood working in the kitchen of her grandma’s restaurant and her stint in the fashion industry. Importantly, we discuss nutrition deeply and explore the reasons we struggle with poor nutrition. This is a must listen! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did hosting it!

Today I’m double dipping with Bettina Campolucci Bordi. Since she came on the podcast back in 2020, we’ve remained firm friends. Just shows you the magic of podcasting! Bettina is a chef, recipe developer, cookbook author, culinary wellness expert, and she hosts incredible retreats around the world! What a job she has – if you can call it that! We’re at Osteria Angelina to try out some of their delicious dishes, and have a girlie catch up!

Today I’m double dipping with Jose Pizarro. As the godfather of Spanish cooking in the UK, it may come as a surprise that he very nearly became a dentist rather than a chef! Just over 25 years ago, Jose arrived in the UK not speaking a word of English, worked his way up the ranks and is now the chef-owner of several critically acclaimed restaurants around London. He’s a true gem in the culinary world and I can’t wait to Double Dip with him!

Today I’m double dipping with Francesco Mazzei. Considered one of the most renowned Italian chefs in the UK, he champions the cuisine of Southern Italy. He came on the special season of the podcast I hosted in partnership with Taste of London and I’ve considered him a friend since then. I love his generosity and Italian patriotism and can’t wait to Double Dip with him!

Today I’m double dipping with Sami Tamimi. As the co-founder of Ottolenghi, he has helped bring Middle Eastern food to homes around the world, changing the way we eat and think about food. Although we haven’t seen eachother in a while, he’s been as busy as ever. He’s released a new cookbook, Boustany, which focuses on vegetable led dishes he grew up with in Palestine. Sami is incredibly talented, and I feel so honoured to be back in his presence again.

Today I’m double dipping with, Sarit and Itamar, the husband and wife duo behind one of my longstanding favourite spots, Honey & Co. They joined me on season 1 of the podcast and we delved into their backgrounds, the journey they’ve taken to opening and running such brilliant restaurants, and what influences their dishes. I’m here today to see what they’ve been up to over the last few years!

I am joined by the beauty that is Gizzi Erskine! Gizzi has been in the industry for years and she’s not just looks – but also substance! She trained at Leith’s, cut her teeth in many restaurants around the city including St John. Her knowledge of food is unmatched as well as her understanding of hospitality. She has owned and run several pop-up restaurants, written for many publications and has her own cookbooks! What can’t she do?!
