    The Inner Table with Alex Dilling - Michelin Stars, Family and Keeping Your Cool

    In this episode of The Inner Table, we’re joined by Alex Dilling, chef and founder of Alex Dilling at Café Royal, fresh from marrying his partner in life and in the restaurant. Over a glass of Drappier Brut Nature 100% Pinot Noir Champagne, Alex talks to us about the relationship between food and family, growing up around his mother and grandfather’s cooking, and how learning to make his first risotto helped spark a career that would eventually lead to Michelin stars. We discuss how professional kitchens have changed over the years, what it takes to stay calm under pressure, and why Alex believes children should be exposed to a much wider range of foods rather than relying on traditional beige kids’ menus. Alex also shares what he cooks at home for his own picky family, where he loves to eat in London, including Bentley’s Oyster Bar, KOL, Impala, Bouchon Racine and Ibai, and the story of how he and Libby first met through Exmoor Caviar and Ops Director Harry. We also hear about his latest venture, 5 Puffins Gin, and what life looks like beyond the pass. A warm, funny and fascinating conversation about food, family, pressure and the people behind some of London’s most exciting restaurants. Sponosored by Coravin

    The Inner Table with...Laura Comfort - Longevity, Fertility and How to hack your age

    What happens when the pursuit of health and performance starts working against your body? In this episode of The Inner Table, we’re joined by Laura Comfort for a fascinating conversation about female health, fertility, stress, longevity and the wellness advice women may need to rethink. Laura shares how years of intense athletic training and physical stress affected her health and fertility, and how that experience led her on a science-led journey to understand and rebuild her body. We discuss becoming a mother to twins in her 50s through IVF, the research behind her approach to female wellbeing, and why trends like fasting and cold plunging may not always be the best choice for women. Laura also talks about her book, her courses, the supplements she is currently developing, and why, despite the rapid rise of AI, there are parts of human connection that technology simply cannot replace. Plus, we’re drinking Saicho Sparkling Tea around The Inner Table. A brilliant conversation about questioning the wellness rules, understanding your own biology and finding an approach that actually works for you. Sponsored by Coravin
