Margot and Fergus Henderson, are, in my opinion, THE most important couple i Food and Drink.

Together, they changed the British gastronomic landscape from meek, tepid swamp of meh to global powerhouse it is today.

Fergus created the institution St. John and Nose-To-Tail Cooking, inspiring so many chefs.

Margot forged her own path with Rochelle Canteen, inspiring female chefs to enter the kitchen or as Margot says a world of “Blokedom”.

Rochelle Canteen is a little oasis, springing and blossoming out Shoreditch streets.

A light escape from heavy monotony.

White and Spacious, always capacious as the seasons capriciously flow:

WI.NT.e.r - SpRiIIINg - Suuu mmm -eerr - A..u..t..t…umN

Margot’s food is wonderfully imperfect. Like humans, it’s craggly, squirly, yummy and not-too-perfect

My goal was to really dig deep into how Margot and Fergus changed British food, their similarities and differences, Rochelle Canteen’s uniqueness, St. Johns genius.

Hopefully (fingers, eyes, toes crossed) we did that.

Full episode live on Monday.

ON THE MENU:

1. How Margot Survived and Others Female Chefs Can Thrive in a Chef World of Blokedom
2. The Difference in (Male) Hunter vs. (Female) Gatherer Cooking: Empathy + Be gentle + simple
3. How to be in Business for 25 years - embrace the dramas of every day keep the joy alive keeps the business alive and making it better (that is THE fun)
4. Why English Food is Taking OVerFrench Food as the Best in the World: “Why do we touch on cultures so lightly?
5. The Genius of St. John and Fergus Henderson: Fergus trained as an architect = Different Input = Different Output.
6. The Subtle Art of Drinking a Negroni: It’s More Complicated Than You THink
7. Why Margot is the “Craftsperson” and Fergus is the “Artist”
8. How To Survive When your Business is Going wrong….”you have to give it more love”
9. Why Margot let's their Chefs “do what they want” + the simple truth is to “Understand everyone's lives truly”
10. Why St. John Stuck to its guns + Slow build then it just happened
