This episode takes us from contemplating the ways the kitchen can be the “endeavour of serious thought”, the good meals that heal, to the bad meals that haunt us (we’ve all got them!), into an examination of the possibly problematic word lovely (a bit of a problem for Sophie), cooking to make yourself appetising to others, cooking to say what you can’t say, the sensuality of aprons, the golden beauty of baked rice pudding and A LOT more.
It’s a juicy one, full of juicy threads pulled from this episode’s book Small Fires by Rebecca May Johnson.
Plus, we answer a listener letter that sings with joy and prescribe some things to read and cook that celebrate our precious friendships.
We hope you enjoy listening to this one,
Germaine and Sophie x
Ps - All the inks to everything we mention, plus all the recipes and book recommendations, will be sent to our lovely (whoops, she did it again) subscribers today.
