Lockdown Larder Isabelle Bougeard

This is a special episode, not because it’s the sixth one of a very sexy third season but because it’s someone who I’ve wanted to mull over menus with ever since I read their book one cold and dark Lockdown night (#dramatic).

I was going to make some terrible joke barristers and cakes for this episode but quite honestly guys punopedia failed me on this one so I will keep this intro traditional. Livvy Potts is the author of the award winning memoir ‘A Half Baked Idea ’ which follows her journey from criminal barrister to professional chef after her mothers death. If Livvy’s book taught me anything it’s that getting in the kitchen can sure as hell heal you in a difficult time. Enjoy!

So we may not be entertaining guests right now but this guest is going to make you want to throw a big party, or be a fly on the wall at her dinner party. Alexandra Dudley is the host with the most, a freezer fanatic and as we soon found out an egg mayo lover (represent) .

She also writes about food and hosting for everyone from Town and Country to Waitrose, and hosts her own wonderful podcast Come for Supper.

Check out her equally wonderful Instagram here.

Ever wondered who would be better crack to go for a beer with John or Greg of Materchef? Yeah, I ask myself this question all the time. Well, you need ask no longer because this week’s guest revealed all. Giovanna Ryan is a Masterchef finalist from 2017, and an actual master of a chef too!

This episode is stuffed full of the disasters you don’t see on the TV show and lots of Italian food. Prego ( think that’s Italian for cool or something) Enjoy!

I caught up with a real life Tik Tok sensation this week  (I know I’m so down with the kids!) .Callum aka Blitz, Is the man behind some super speedy super easy vegan meals. As I was doing Veganuary I thought it was the ideal time to grill him on plant based eating and basically how to make my meals as quick as him without breaking anything, which those of you that know me will know may be tricky.

Jokes aside Veganuary went great and Callum’s nut roast recipe really slapped, so make sure you get on that.

We are bake in business this week, quite literally with a ground baking new guest. Liberty Mendez is the best in the biz when it comes to baking . When she’s not throwing shapes to ABBA in the BBC good food kitchen shes the one behind the good stuff on BBC good food. Also we lift the lid on the perfect crunch to softness ratio in the sandwich and ask the all important question, is it wrong to crave egg mayonnaise. ( Answer: most definitely not).

Big thank you to my lovely friends at Jobs Bored Podcast for sponsoring that episode. Go check 'em out!

They say never work with children animals or your mother. But obviously when looking for Christmas cooking tips we had to go straight to the mothership , queen of the aga and professional gin quaffer aka my mother. Don’t worry if you don’t know what an aga is you definitely on twenty mins time . Trust me this episodes like the John Lewis Christmas advert on steroids. Enjoy!
