There are Eritrean recipes, admissions of the downsides of fully immersive theatre (farts) and it turns out I do know what dissonance means. Considering we’re on the set of one of the most heartbreaking plays I’ve seen in years, this is a very very happy episode. RecipesI made her vegan courgette apple muffins https://deliciouslyella.com/2012/08/20/vegan-zucchini-apple-muffins-gluten-dairy-and-sugar-free/Honourable MentionsThe play is called ‘The Jungle’The Camden based Arab food market is called PheoniciaEthiopian Restaurants Labilel and Addis, both in Kentish Town And Nahel’s funny sounding recommendation Laura Esquival’s ‘Like Water got Chocolate’ And that book I cannot stop thinking about, or banging on about Louise Gray ‘Ethical Carnivore’ The plants propaganda film, which I have to admit, I haven’t yet seen - available on Youtube: ‘Earthlings’ My hangover medicine of choice the MIGHTY (retro) Alka Seltzer And this is the extra lemony (extra sugary) BEAUTIFUL San Pelligrino Limonata OH, AndIf you have got a couple of extra quids a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.

We are out for lunch and he tells me all about wanting in another life to live in someone’s shed and do all their cooking. We get into the politics of ethical eating and politics full-stop. We skirt around hypochondria, the pitfalls of sugar and the circumstances in which he’d eat a person are amazing. Honourable MentionsIF YOU’RE IN EDINBURGH THIS LAST WEEKEND GET DOWN TO PETER’S SHOW - CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!We ate lunch in Nichols Vegetarian Eatery in Chapel Allerton in LeedsAnna Jones’ Chilli (and other recipes in a brilliant looking Guardian article from 2016)The Honest Guys Youtube Channel for zoning out and sometimes even getting to sleepOH, AndIf you have got a couple of extra quids a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.This week my guest is none other than super star chef, restauranteur and co-host of Sunday Brunch amongst loads of other brilliant stuff - it’s the excellent Simon Rimmer. Simon is delightfully open about times where he’s overdone it on the workload, about the media-luvvie bubble it’s too easy to slip into and about the time he ate some whale. His stories about guests on Sunday Brunch are hilarious and his honesty about his journey and imperfections is disarmingly lovely. Honourable MentionsHere’s a link to Simon’s inaugural, incidentally vegetarian restaurant ‘Greens’ and here’s a link to ALL THE BOOKS he’s written like a legend. Most importantly here is Richard Blackwood on Sunday Brunch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpH1goouCLQIf you’re from overseas and hadn’t heard of the crisps/ chips we were talking about click on the name for links to salt & vinegar WALKERS or in my opinion, the superior DISCOS. And here are the original WOTSITS but it’s my view that these M&S one’s are even cheesier. The drink of Simon’s dreams is this swanky AF looking Billecart-Salmon Rose and the less swanky aperitif he chose is this particular brand of peanut butter from Monsieur ‘Skippy’ OH, AndIf you have got a any spare dosh to give a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.

These sick, funny bastards came round to mine for a mushroom risotto that I winged, I’m afraid - so no recipe. I had a mushroom glut and I made it up as I went along. They brought me homemade chocolate brownies and we talked about everything from sticking an octopus up your arse to Rosie telling me exactly how she’d butcher me and which bits she’d eat first.

We met in the Riding House Cafe in Fitzrovia, London which we both love but I had totally underestimated how crazily loud it is in there. Always. So it’s loud, but you CAN hear us. We get pretty deep into the cons (in my view) of the diet industry and the misery and insanity of a life of YoYo dieting. Viv has incredible stories of pushing buttons for champagne and meeting Uraguyian plane crash surviving cannibals. Honourable MentionsViv’s Edinburgh Show Vivalicious - get tickets here! Here’s where to buy Viv’s latest, brilliant book ‘The Anna Karenina Fix’ We met and had breakfast in The Riding House CafeBob Bob Ricard, the restaurant where you ring a bell and champagne comes but hide your babies in your bagThe BOOK by the guy who survived the Uruguay plane crash by eating people was Nando Parrado - Miracle in the AndesRecipe for Georgian Kachapuri breadAnd finally, the restaurant: Little GeorgiaOH, AndIf you could spare a few quid (or loads of quid) I’m on this brilliant site called Patreon where I exchange a monthly offering (that you can stop whenever) for rewards including exclusive content.

Off of Cold Feet, a million other shows and author of three, yes three, cookery books. We met in Fay’s drop dead gorgeous north London home where I bring a vegan carrot cake and Fay makes a jaw dropping passionfruit and pistachio drizzle. She wins. We learn that I can’t pronounce the word walnut and that I can accidentally make a question sound like code for a deeply intrusive sexual interrogation.RecipesHere’s the vegan carrot cake recipe I used. And here is a link to Fay’s books where you’ll find the recipe for the cake she made! Honourable MentionsMamma Dough pizza places across South East London and they are SO FIT.The swanky wanky restaurant Fay mentioned in Stockport has got to be this one called ‘Where The Light Gets In.OH, AndIf you have got a couple of extra quids a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.

She’s already been on 8 out of 10 Cats and the Last Leg and she’s taking her first hour up to the fringe this year. She’s got cerebral palsy, a ruthlessly filthy mind and a connoisseur-level-love of incredibly fine, swanky pants food. That and a borderline ‘problem’ with creme eggs. There’s a postcard to Bridlington and an excellent celebrity-restaurant-spot story. RecipeI made us a (vegan) puff pastry tart laden with tonne of green veg (Rosie’s favourite), some very slow cooked sweet red onions, pine nuts and homemade pesto. Honourable MentionsThis is where to buy tickets to see Rosie in her show ‘Fifteen Minutes’ up at the Edinburgh festival.Please do support the #lookup campaign!

Jess talks about everything from the bleak reality of food poverty to much more profound statements such as, and I quote, “Bovril is my touchstone”. From the ridiculous to the heartbreaking in this episode, Jess shares stories from her community we go DEEP on the topic of supermarkets (as per).

We tuck into some improvised ratatouille I’d done to use up all my fridge veg and Hatty got us a lovely chocolate and raspberry pudding combo. We explore the fact she’s very very pregnant, bemoan the pitfalls of teaching our toddlers our own crappy habits and get pretty honest about the disordered slimming club type bollocks we got wrapped up in, for various reasons as kids. Honourable MentionsCoconut Collective Chocolate Puds OH, AndIf you have got a couple of extra quids a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.
