Season 6: Episode 06: Lawrence Okolie

I am FINALLY joined by my first world champion boxer this week! Lawrence Okolie sat down with me just after retaining his WBO Cruiserweight title (well, not literally straight after, but you know what I mean!).

He may have zoomed in from his bed (!), but the champion spoke all about growing up in a Nigerian household and how he STILL doesn’t know how to make jollof rice, his unique success story and his book, Dare to Change Your Life.

He opens up about his relationship with food as a child; he was overweight and bullied and sought comfort in food and we bond over the fact we both used to skive of off school sports.

As an athlete, he explains how he structures his time in the lead up to a fight, sparring with Anthony Joshua and why he decided to become vegan!

Today I’m double dipping with Francesco Mazzei. Considered one of the most renowned Italian chefs in the UK, he champions the cuisine of Southern Italy. He came on the special season of the podcast I hosted in partnership with Taste of London and I’ve considered him a friend since then. I love his generosity and Italian patriotism and can’t wait to Double Dip with him!

Today I’m double dipping with Sami Tamimi. As the co-founder of Ottolenghi, he has helped bring Middle Eastern food to homes around the world, changing the way we eat and think about food. Although we haven’t seen eachother in a while, he’s been as busy as ever. He’s released a new cookbook, Boustany, which focuses on vegetable led dishes he grew up with in Palestine. Sami is incredibly talented, and I feel so honoured to be back in his presence again.

Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31 and started her platform to help herself and those around her going through the same diagnosis’s and navigate the rollercoaster that is a cancer journey. We met at hers and ate her favourite take out - Deeney's!
