Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware Jessie Ware

If you don’t know who Max Martin is - well, you should - and you will quickly realise that you do in fact know most of his chart topping songs.
We invite the enigmatic Swedish songwriter over to mum's for his first ever podcast. We talk about getting ready for his new musical '& Juliet' to finally get back to the West End, his love for Kiss the band, life in Los Angeles and growing up outside the cow border. All whilst mum offers up salmon and pickled beetroot eggs.
Thank you for coming over Max x

A Dutch baby and champagne was only right for this week’s guest, even if it was before noon….the iconic Billy Porter.
We spoke to Billy about moving from New York and living his new life in Long Island, falling in love with musical theatre after watching ‘The Whizz’, his turkey burger speciality, working with Jade Thirlwall and MNEK on his debut single & his many many projects! But most importantly we discussed who would play Billy’s bodyguard if we remade the movie. A joy to listen and learn from Billy, and we ask you….Could he be even more fabulous than Lennie?! Billy, we love you! x

It's officially Autumn – our favourite time of the year – and what better way to celebrate it than to get my good pal Laura Jackson over to mum's for a good old hearty seasonal meal. This bonus episode is sponsored by Sainsbury's & their fantastic new Autumn Edition Taste The Difference range. We tucked into truffle houmous, chicken with a delish truffle mash potato and root vegetable gratin and for pud the most delightful Winter Berry Crumble.
We talked to Laura all about growing up in a family of 8 in Huddersfield & how she’s become THE hostess with the mostess. She tells us all about her love of the humble bean, eating the best Gazpacho in San Francisco & tracking down napkins from Mexico City. Her new homeware and lifestyle brand, Glassette launched this week and we couldn’t be prouder. It’s absolutely amazing X

It was an HONOUR to have our first little mixer in the house! We welcome the wonderful Jade Thirlwall to mum's for her fave meal, a roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings.
Jade turned up in full glam after a long photo shoot so it was just what the doctor ordered for our girl. She talks about her mum’s mince pies - and not the Christmas kind - her penchant for putting crisps in a tuna sarnie, drinking Malibu and always wanting the economy meal on the aeroplane. We discuss her beautiful relationship with the LGBTQ+ community and her obsession with Diana ross. It’s all in there! Thank you Jade, you gem x
