This week I’m joined by Michelin starred chef, Claude Bosi. Fresh off of gaining yet another star, he comes over the the Four Seasons Hotel for breakfast in bed. We talk all about his childhood growing up in Lyon, France, what his stars mean to him and what he looks for in a chef. We enjoyed some hilarious moments, namely over a plate of French toast!

It was a real pleasure to sit down with such a talented man, a staple on the London food scene for so many years and I love how unapologetically himself he is!

This season I have partnered with the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, who have generously hosted us in one of their fabulous suites. Each episode, I get up, close and personal with my guests, order room service and chat all about their life in food. It doesn’t get better than this! Thank you so much to the Four Seasons Hotel for their hospitality!

 

**I’m delighted that this season of Crazy Sexy Food is headline sponsored by premium appliance manufacturer, Miele.  Over the last few years, I have got close to this incredible brand through Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park festival, where I have had the pleasure to watch (and eat!) dishes prepared by some of the UK’s finest chefs using Miele.  I was also invited to a special event by the brand at the fabulous Exton Park, which features Miele throughout, with lunch cooked by one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative restaurateurs, Tommy Banks. 

 

If you are on a kitchen journey, I would highly recommend a visit to one of its Experience Centres where you will not only receive bespoke advice but can also join one of the many courses to experience its appliances first hand, including getting to enjoy lots of delicious food.  Excitingly it’s opening a new Mayfair store which is just opposite the Ritz - a great way to spend an afternoon! 

 

This year is an exciting milestone for the family-owned company who will be celebrating its 125th anniversary, and while Miele continues to innovate, it stays true to its motto “Immer Besser”, which means Forever Better. The majority of its products are put through tough durability tests during the development phase to simulate 20 years use - for ovens this includes opening and closing the door 24,000 times!

 

To celebrate the partnership, Miele is kindly giving my listeners 10% off its fabulous appliances on miele.co.uk or through its Experience Centres until September 2024 with the code CRAZYMIELE

 

 

**I’m so happy to be partnering with Odysea on this season of the podcast. They’ve been scouring Greece & further afield for the finest food producers since 1991, bringing the highest quality flavours that the Mediterranean has to offer. Their range is carefully curated, to include hand-selected, traditionally-cured olives, award-winning honey from lovingly tended bees, and premium quality oils sourced from only the most acclaimed regional producers. 

Food is a way to get back in touch with the things that matter most and connect on new and deeper levels and so the lovely people at Odysea are offering Crazy Sexy Food listeners 15% off at odysea.com using the code CSF15 until the end of 2024. This code can be used across the entire range, excluding brass mills and wines.

What an action packed episode I have for you this week! The Queen of British rap, Lady Leshurr joins me to talk all about her Kittitian heritage, why she loves conch so much and what the last few years have been like. She’s been on a bit of an hiatus, but she’s back bigger and better than ever and there are new tunes on the horizon!

She discusses her greatest love of all; salmon. She lives and breathes it! She tries avocado and pancakes for the first time, and finishes off the chat with a Crazy Sexy Food freestyle. What a gal our Melesha is!

I am back!!! It only took a year but I am here, live and direct, Season 10 baby! I am so incredibly excited to be back on the airwaves giving you that little dose of crazy, sexy foodie chats with some brilliant guests, and how else do I kick off the season than with the Dame herself, Prue Leith!
She joined me in bed at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, over some delicious room service and we spoke all about her seven years judging The Great British Bake Off, why she loves pina coladas, Paul Hollywood’s eyes (I had to!) and her wonderful childhood growing up in South Africa.
Prue is a force to be reckoned with. At 84 years of age, she is still rocking our screens as well as her jazzy glasses and I hope I can be only a fraction of who she is when I am in my 80s! Long live the dame!

I am so, so, so excited to bring you this SPECIAL EPISODE with the one and only Busted!! Just as they prep for their upcoming tour, and on the week of their much-anticipated new album, the boys popped over for a cup of coffee and chat about their life in food, what it was like breaking out into the music industry in the early 2000s, and what their predictions are for the Year 3000!

Charlie, James and Matt are such gentlemen and it was honestly a dream come to true to have them on! 13-year-old Hannah would have been shaking in her boots! They defined my playlist circa 2003! We talked all about their food habits, what they ask for on their riders and why marmite really is the holy grail.

Enjoy the episode and make sure to download the new album!

It’s the FINALE!!!! Season 9 is a wrap! And what a season it’s been.

I wanted to finish strong and get my lovely friend, Chef Chantelle Nicholson on for a chinwag. We talk all about her rise to culinary fame as the chef-owner of Apricity in London. We discuss her Green Michelin Stars, why we need to be more conscious about how and what we eat to lead a more sustainable life, her childhood in New Zealand, and of course, we bond over crisps! This is why we’re friends!!

 

It’s been an incredible season and I just wanted to thank every single one of you for supporting and listening. I wouldn’t be doing this without you!

It was a breath of fresh air to have Zak Abel join me on this week’s episode. Fresh off the stage from performing at the King’s Coronation concert, to releasing a brand new single, to prepping for his upcoming Autumn tour, Zak is a very talented man!

We talk all about his early career as a table tennis champion (!!), why he’s into healthy eating, the reasons he turned vegan and we have an absolute barrel of laughs putting the world to rights, debating whether Worcestershire sauce is the best or worst thing to happen to us all!! Here’s to wishing Zak a long and successful career!
