Food For Friends is the podcast that reveals what some of our better known, professional chefs really cook behind closed doors. Each week we’ll be opening their fridge doors, lifting their saucepan lids and unearthing which takeaways they have on speed dial. So pull up a chair, it’s time to tuck in.

Tom Kha Gai, Tiny White Plates and a Soy Sauce Cupboard with Romany Henry
This week we sit down for a #girlslunch in content creator and Mob Food Producer, Romany Henry’s kitchen.
Over Tom Kha Gai Romany gives us a lesson in rice, the correct order of carbs, and where to find the best Chinese buns in London.
There’s even a food for friends first as we discover a soy sauce cupboard. We even got treated to a sweet potato and Chinese date pudding that had us all glowing.
Then producer Izzy had an unfortunate run in with some chili, and it all went downhill.

Fondue, Fricadelle and Figgy Soda Bread with Florence Blair
Opening their cupboards to us this week is food writer and stylist Florence Blair.
Over Fig and Walnut Soda Bread, Whipped Butter and Fennel Seeds - a recipe taken straight from Florence’s glorious Substack newsletter - she takes us through some of her favoruite cookbooks and lifts the curtain on the slightly less glamorous side of food styling.
We hit the cupboards for lessons in vinegar and the importance of good quality pasta. The question is what *is* an assertive dressing?

Devilled Eggs and More Daily Veg with Joe Woodhouse
In the midst of a 32 degree heatwave, we had a nose round Joe Woodhouse’s kitchen and did a deep dive on his splendiferous new cookbook More Daily Veg.
Over devilled eggs, some home-brewed cider and a game changing potato soup (trust us) we chatted crockery sales outside of London, having your photography studio at home and the wonderful Wilfred made a few appearances too.
Of course, there’s a fridge excavation full of ferments and French cheeses and a lesson in home brewing.

Comté scones, communal living and a man called Pier with Rosie Kellett
To kick off S2 we have a nose around Rosie Kellet’s kitchen which she shares with friends in an East London warehouse.
Over homemade banana bread (with no shortage of butter) Rosie explains the story behind the communal cooking set up that has catapulted her onto your foodie radar.
What is a fridge defender? How does the budgeting really work when you’re communally living in a warehouse? And who is Pier?
There’s even a run in with a flat car battery and a heroic man called Rod, but we’ll get to that later.
