Crazy Sexy Food

I can’t believe we’ve come to the end of Season 6! Thank you again for joining me on this incredible journey, continuously supporting and listening to me. Don’t worry – I’ll be back sooner than you think for another bigger and better season!

To finish things off, I’m joined by Judy Joo, the Korean chef behind shows such as Iron Chef and restaurants JinJuu and Seoul Bird.

She opens up about her childhood in New Jersey, growing up in a Korean household with her mum fermenting kimchi in the family garage and drying chillis on top of the fridge. She discusses the frustration with people trying to understand Korean food, with critics trying to compare it to Thai food in the early days (!) and she explains the difference in chopsticks per each Asian cuisine. My mind is blown!

And don’t worry – I ask her the all important question; why is Korean fried chicken is SO DAMN GOOD?!!

What a character Rosemary Shrager is! Be prepared to laugh your way through this episode with her infectious laugh and wonderful sense of humour!

She talks all about her new book – her first novel aptly named The Last Supper and the story behind the story. 

We bond over being introverted extroverts (if you can believe that!) and I ask her whether she’s suffered from any prejudice as a self-taught female chef.

She opens up about her long-standing friendship with Pierre Koffmann and working under him in his kitchen – and she finds him quite sexy! You heard it here first!!!

Rosemary’s beautiful energy and positive attitude to life made her time on I’m A Celebrity a little easier than others. She loved it in fact! And used the experience as a way to lose weight!

What a charming chap musician Jack Savoretti is! It had been a long time coming but we finally sat down to talk all about his Italian heritage, childhood family dinners and some of his naughty food vices!

He’s currently on tour so we talk all about finally being out there performing live, his new album, Europiana and he opens up about the music industry; the difficulties he overcame, the time he was asked to change his name as it wasn’t “British” enough (!) and he discusses stepping away from the industry.

This conversation felt very full circle to me – I was first introduced to Jack in 2012 when I was taken to his concert in Shepherds Bush – close to where I live now! We end the chat realising we may be soulmates – but you’ll need to listen to find out!!

This week I invite you to listen in on the live recording from my first LIVE event at White City House in London, with the gorgeous Shivi Ramoutar. Following Soho House’s monthly theme of Nourishment, we talk all about how we nourish ourselves from the inside in, eating in moderation and Shivi’s incredible life being born and raised in Trinidad before settling in the UK.

She explains the deliciousness of Trinidadian food and how it differs from other West Indian islands.

I then opened up to the floor to a really wonderful, exciting and interesting Q&A!

When I started Crazy Sexy Food, I wrote a list of dream guests I’d love to have on. If you’d seen it, you would have laughed and told me “Yeah Right!”.

So, when I got the call a couple weeks ago that Nobu Matsuhisa was in town to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nobu London Park Lane, and he was doing a select number of interviews and that CSF was in the running I could not believe it!

But here we are. And here I was, in this episode, sitting down with the man himself discussing his life in food, dealing with childhood trauma, setting up his business 50 years ago and his meeting with Robert De Niro.

Nobu is a gentle but very fun man. He was so incredibly open and hospitable; this really has been the greatest honour. He eloquently discussed the hardships in his life, namely when one of his restaurants burnt down and he lost everything. This in turn lead to depression and suicidal thoughts.

He managed to use his inner strength and family support to start again, and here we are, all these years later, and he’s still at the helm of the global empire!

This was an honour of the highest level, and being in Nobu’s presence is something I will never forget.

I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did recording it.

Crystelle Pereira is the rising star we all need to know about. If you’re an avid GBBO then you’ll know exactly who she is! 

Not only is she my first ever GBBO contestant, but she came over for baclava and a glass water (!) and gave me in inside scoop of how the show works, what it’s like to film in secret for 6 weeks and her favourite bakes from the season.

We touch on her Goan Portuguese heritage where she explains the cuisine - did you know Vindaloo originates from Goa?! Me neither.

We discuss Focaccia-gate! And talk about how we are never in control of things in life and that everything happens for a reason.

Crystelle is at the beginning of her career and I predict great things for this gorgeous woman! Oh – and she also has amazing eyebrows!

I am FINALLY joined by my first world champion boxer this week! Lawrence Okolie sat down with me just after retaining his WBO Cruiserweight title (well, not literally straight after, but you know what I mean!).

He may have zoomed in from his bed (!), but the champion spoke all about growing up in a Nigerian household and how he STILL doesn’t know how to make jollof rice, his unique success story and his book, Dare to Change Your Life.

He opens up about his relationship with food as a child; he was overweight and bullied and sought comfort in food and we bond over the fact we both used to skive of off school sports.

As an athlete, he explains how he structures his time in the lead up to a fight, sparring with Anthony Joshua and why he decided to become vegan!

This week I have a true showbiz superstar joining me, Mr Martin Kemp! He’s done it all; music, TV, film and even GBBO!

He popped over and talked all about his time in Spandau Ballet, and the huge success they had overnight. He commends his time on Eastenders, where he played bad boy Steve Owen as saving his life after a very traumatic experience with a brain tumour. 

The man is still as gorgeous as he was when he first entered the limelight, and is showing no signs of stopping! He discusses how he loves working with his family; namely his son Roman, a successful presenter, and his wife Shirley (who he adores!), who was part of Wham!

Food wise, Martin explains the importance of a certain pie and mash shop near where he grew up in Islington and why Bounty bars are SO important to him!!

It was an absolute honour (and somewhat nerve wracking) to have Marcus Wareing join me in my kitchen for a chat this week.

He came in, saw my stew bubbling away on the stove, gave me some lifechanging tips and then sat down with a cuppa and spoke to me all about his life growing up in Southport, his boxing days, and his experience coming to London to work at The Savoy and Le Gavroche.

He discusses the difference between the chefs of his day to present day and how the training has changed, producing a different kind of chef. And we talk all about receiving his first Michelin star at 26!

Marcus released his ninth cookbook last year – Marcus’ Kitchen and has a new TV show starting called Tales from a Kitchen Garden. It’s a new concept for him; all about his place in East Sussex, it’s garden, growing produce and rearing animals and all the bits inbetween!

It had been a long time coming to get this brilliant woman onto the podcast, and we finally did it after months of planning!

Adjoa Andoh has been on our screens and stages for years, and currently plays the incredible Lady Danbury in a little-known show called Bridgerton!

She talks about her wonderful upbringing with a real mixture of food and cuisines being around her English mother and Ghanaian father and she dissects what Ghanaian food is and her memories of it. We also had an interesting conversation about the state of the food and farming industry. How bad cheap food (namely meat) and factory farming is.

She discusses the different mediums of acting and we obviously touch on Bridgerton; it’s global success, Shonda Rhimes and the character of Lady Danbury

I discover the shocking food available on film sets, and she explains how she works around it. But to make a sad story happy, I find out just how much she loves sherry trifle!!
