Today’s episode brought us back to the English coast to the location of episode one of this podcast in fact, but this time we are interviewing the man of the house instead of the woman! Today’s guest is Simon Hooperwho is known to many of you as father of daughters. Simon is a hilariously candid father of four daughters who entertains his nearly one million followers on instagram with funny videos and tales of parenthood. He and I got to talking when I was recording his wife Clemmie and soon made arrangements for me to return so he could make me his famous carrot cake! Get his recipe at www.friendswithrecipes.org Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today’s episode brought us north east of London near the port town of Ipswich which the home of today’s guest: Sally Emslie. Originally from South Africa, Sally has just recently moved out of Hackney to start a new life for her family in the countryside. Not only did we get a glimpse of Sally’s incredible stockroom for her secondhand designer clothing business Manifesto Women, we also took a brisk country walk to a gorgeous, abandoned church where I might have done a bit of singing . . .

Anna Whitehouse (AKA: Mother Pukka) is an amazing woman for many reasons, but she is probably best known for her flex appeal campaign which champions flexible working. She is also an author, mother of two, and all around hilarious woman. Anna cooked us up her favourite meal made entirely of ingredients from her friend Rash’s corner shop. In typical Anna style, the recipe and story behind it was absolutely charming, the chat hilarious, and the food comically good given that it literally took her five minutes to make! Get her recipe at www.friendswithrecipes.org!

I have long been an admirer of Jacqui Ma’s business Goodordering, but only met her for the first time when I showed up at her house! Jacqui was just as cool and interesting as I hoped she would be and her chat about the food that she and her partner Mia make in their Chinese/Sweedish/British/Australian household was absolutely fascinating! 
Also, how cute is it that Jacqui’s business Goodordering is named after something she and her brothers would say to her mum if they liked what she ordered at a restaraunt: “good ordering, mum”! I love that!
