HAIYAA! Lennie’s infamous microwave rice is put up to the test this week. Comedian Nigel NG aka Uncle Roger turned up to Clapham in his orange polo shirt, ready to try mum’s food and talk rice fuck bois, nieces, nephews, Jamie Oliver and making people cackle through lockdown. We laughed a LOT and chatted all about dating a vegan, how to do karaoke, the best sparkling sake and we think maybe Uncle Roger should become Father Roger we loved him so much. Did Lennie’s rice pass the test? Tune in to find out. 

We will be back next week with the start of our live series recorded from our Table Manners tour. See you then! X

Ahead of her starring role in the West End production of Sister Act, we were honoured to welcome the wonderful Jennifer Saunders onto Table Manners this week. 

We cracked opened the Bolly darling and chatting everything from frozen peas to the dream dinner party that went hideously wrong.

Jennifer told us about her discovery of rock oysters in Australia & her pocket money habits as a child. 

It was really just a gorgeous Friday evening with an absolute legend. 

She exceeded all expectations - what a woman! Enjoy! X

Sister Act opens at London’s Eventim Apollo on July 19th

A double helping this week! We recorded a very special episode of Table Manners with two amazing women; campaigner and author Jack Monroe & Nureen Glaves, the founder and CEO of National Lottery-supported Feed Me Good.

In this Good Causes special, made possible by National Lottery players, we didn’t need to cook! Jack brought her delicious ‘chicken porridge’ & Nureen brought her famous rum cake – what a treat! We ate & we chatted all about affordable eating, food sustainability, making the most of the tins in your cupboard & different ways of making mac and cheese! Nureen even filled us in on what she will be making for her upcoming Big Jubilee Lunch, as communities all over the UK come together to celebrate the Jubilee weekend.

This one is a super foodie episode, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it. Thank you to The National Lottery for setting us up! Enjoy!

It’s Mabel’s turn on Table Manners! We welcome superstar pop star Mabel to mum’s for a home cooked meal of grilled fish & a knock out Banoffee pie that she took home for her dad. 

We talk all about family Christmases in Thailand, her love of Congee, different ways to cook Jollof, the reason she doesn’t eat chicken & what food to eat on tour!

Nowadays you will find her mucking out in the stables but a whole new record is ready for us to enjoy very soon. What an open, honest and gorgeous chat with this bright young thing. Mabel, we adore you. X

Mabel’s new single Overthinking with 24Goldn is out now.

For this final LA episode, we have none other than the Queen bee of real estate, the ultimate ‘boss bitch’ with the best one liner stings & star of Selling Sunset, Christine Quinn.

We forgive the gorgeous Christine for joining us an hour late for bagels because she’s incredibly lovely and we talk all about BBQs in Texas, her mum’s Hungarian food, the best Lobster in France & her addiction to soda. 

We talk expensive houses, difficult clients and going back on the show after giving birth. We could have listened to her all day. She was utterly charming and sweet. 

Her brand new book ‘How to be a boss bitch’ is out tomorrow. Go and get a copy!

Up this week… another slice of LA with none other than a national treasure, superstar chef, author & queen of the American artisanal loaf - Nancy Silverton. 

Famed for her sourdough starter, Nancy talks to us about her rise to the top, growing up in the valley, her obsession with pistachios & loving TV dinners at her grandmas. 

We recorded this episode from Nancy's famous ‘Osteria Mozza’ restaurant on Melrose Avenue and were lucky enough to taste her famous chopped salad and also had a first in eating shrimp on a pizza. 

Full of food and elegance.. enjoy! X

Nancy's London restaurant is Pizzeria Mozza at Treehouse London

Writer, film maker, king of impressions and the banana bread's publicist, Jordan Firstman joins us on this weeks special episode of Table Manners.

Mum made a delicious sirloin steak salad (shout out to Jess Damuck for the accompanying pea, cucumber and asparagus salad ) & we sipped leftover Greekmans natural wine. Jordan told us about his secret mash potato recipe, his ‘Wicked’ themed Barmitzvah, what life was like growing up in Long Island & where to get the best chicken wings in LA.

He won mum over and I'm sure he’ll win you over too. (Sadly the story about Shelving didn’t make it in but he can tell you about that another time) Enjoy!

Rosé at the ready! In this first LA special, we were joined poolside by a sporting legend & probably the most influential skateboarders of all time, Tony Hawk.

Tony talks to us about growing up in San Diego & food as fuel whilst skating as a kid, the best bourbon whiskey, multi-use of Skateboard grip tape and expensive sushi, all whilst eating mum's delicious homage to River Café’s chicken with tomatoes and olives, followed by delicious crystalized chocolate oranges!

Tony’s brand new documentary ‘Until The Wheels Fall Off’ now on Now TV.

Lennie and I became California girls for a couple of weeks and took Table Manners to La La Land! Thanks to Virgin Atlantic, we travelled in style and documented our journey in the air! We recorded part of this special episode at 35,000 feet.

I’ve admired the wonderful chef Thomasina Miers for a long time so we were thrilled to welcome her to Table Manners. 

Tommi kindly brought pud, but before we devoured her delicious chocolate cake with tequila and chilli, we discussed food activism, the importance of soil, Chefs for Schools, eating seasonally, food education & how to cook the perfect omelette, along with her love of Mexico and chillis. 

Mum made a delicious Ottolenghi courgette frittata and it really was an inspiring lunch with this Wonder Woman. Thomasina's new book ‘Meat Free Mexican’ is out now (go make the choc cake) x
