Desert Island Dishes

Margie's castaway this week is Struan Robertson.

Struan is the Head butcher and co owner of The Provenance Meat Company .

Struan gave up his job in advertising to train as a butcher and then, after honing his butchery skills he went on to co found the award winning butcher, Provenance. They have just opened their 3rd store in London – which in less than 4 years is quite remarkable.

I’ve known Struan for a long time now and he is one of the nicest , and hardest working people I know – so it was actually a real treat to get to sit down with him and ask him the sorts of questions we probably don’t ask our friends enough!

I love the idea of beign an eater not a foodie and I think I definitely fall into that category too. I also love his tip about not being afraid to ask your butcher for advice and tips.

If you don’t already, you can follow me on instagram or twitter @madebymargie - do come and say hi. And you can find struan through @provenancebutcher.

Margie's castaway this week is Kerstin Rogers aka Ms Marmite Lover

Kerstin launched the UK’s first underground restaurant back in 2009 when 12 complete strangers paid her to cook for them in her living room. Her underground restaurant became a weekly occasion and since then hundreds of restaurants have followed Kerstins lead – as supperclubs have sprung up all over London and all over the world

As the creator of the multi award winning food blog Ms marmite lover – Kerstin has also written for the Guardian and the independent and is the author of 4 books.

Kerstin set out to do something bigger than just herself - she wanted to start a movement. I wanted to find out about her journey, and what she's up to now . Kerstin is honest, funny and open and lovely to chat to.

Kerstin's desert island dishes are home cooking at it's best and will hopefully give you some inspiration next time you're in the kitchen!

Hope you enjoy!

An introduction to the brand new podcast Desert Island Dishes ...coming soon!

This new weekly podcast follows a vaguely similar format to the infamous and beloved Desert Island Discs, only instead of discs, we talk dishes!

The castaway for the week will be asked about their careers, and how they got to where they’ve got to, any trials and tribulations interspersed with being asked about their Desert Island Dishes.

The Desert Island Dishes are the same 7 questions asked to each castaway each week. Whether you are a self confessed “foodie” or not, what you eat, where you eat and what you love to eat is really interesting!

This is exciting! Make sure you subscribe so you can be amongst the first to listen.
