If you live in London you’ve definitely spotted The Felix Project’s lime green vans driving around the city, redistributing food to those in need, to different refuges, and the vulnerable.The past year has been like no other, and Mark Curtin, CEO of The Felix Project, has been working tirelessly alongside an amazing group of volunteers, making sure everyone gets fed. On this episode, we discuss the overnight impact of COVID for those who are vulnerable, food sustainability and why there’s no excuse to waste food. Mark details the immense work he does to make sure The Felix Project functions at the rate it’s working at, and he delves into some of his very interesting (!) memorable meals!@thefelixproject@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Future Farm.

What a delightful man, José Pizarro is. He truly is a ray of Spanish sunshine!On this week’s episode, we discuss the state of the hospitality industry in the wake of COVID, lighten things up by exploring tapas food and where it actually originates from (I had no idea!) and we bond over the full experience of dining out and the “dance” that happens in his kitchens.Born and raised in a small village in Spain, José came to the UK not speaking an ounce of English! Fast forward, and the man is now owns 4 restaurants and has 5 cookbooks to his name. For a man who was going to become a dental technician, he really has proven anything is possible with some resilience and determination!@jose_pizarro@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Future Farm.

Now this is a great angle to talk about food! What better way to talk shop than with the don of dermatology, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank. Known to have helped so many people worldwide, as well as many well-known ‘faces’, Dr. Paul’s approach to aging is all about Pro-Aging. We’re sold the idea of anti-aging and how products will reverse the inevitable, but why don’t we just change our mindset? We’re all going in the same direction, so let’s embrace it and help ourselves along the way! This is all about lifestyle and it’s never too late to change things up. When it comes to food, Dr. Paul explains to me it’s all about moderation not restriction. He discusses his Italian-Jewish heritage, his favourite pastrami sandwiches and his absolute love for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.@drpauljarrodfrank@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Future Farm.

Ferne McCann is a woman after my own heart. She themes her dinner parties (Mexican night anyone?!) and she loves a frazzle!! The star of TOWIE and First Time Mum talks to me all about being on the reality show that changed her life, her love of food and cooking for others, and her pet hate of fussy eaters!Her loaded house – she’s living with her boyfriend, gay BFF and daughter! – is full of cooking and madness but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Aside from cooking, we discuss her Embodyment By Ferne programme and bond over the fact we’re both into numerology. Oh, and we’re hosting a dinner party once out of lockdown and you’re all invited!@fernemccann@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Future Farm.

If you haven’t heard of Eitan Bernath, where have you been hiding?! The social media sensation hit the big time when he went viral on Tik Tok with his crazy cooking videos. Since garnering international attention, Eitan is known for his high octane, sometimes crazy video tutorials. Imagine cooking a steak with a hair straightener… deep frying water… That kinda thing!He may only be 18 but Eitan has some really interesting thoughts on the social media landscape, and breaks it down for me in a way I had never thought before. We talk about this dad’s latkes, why driving an hour and half for babka is perfectly acceptable and he introduces me to his car, which has the best name everrrrr!!@eitan@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Future Farm.

Season 4 SAY WHAAAAAT! Oh, how I have missed you all! It feels so good to be back!It was a pleasure to kickstart the season with Gizzi Erskine, the beautiful and hugely talented chef, TV personality and model!She may be a trained body piercer, but we are here for the food! The pop-up restaurant veteran discusses her lifechanging time at culinary school, growing up with a very bohemian mother and her insane school lunches. Her gorgeous cat, Kimchi, makes an appearance whilst Gizzi explains to me the situation faced by the agricultural industry and the changes we need to make to better our farming culture, and ultimately, the planet. She's a beautiful soil and it was so wonderful to finally have her on the podcast!@gizzierskine@crazysexyfood@hannahharleyhttps://www.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Future Farm.

It’s the end of the year, and sadly the end of Season 3! And what a season it’s been!!To finish off this epic assortment of brilliant chats, I chat with model and campaigner Felicity Hayward, who’s most probably the most well-known curve model in the UK.We talk everything from being scouted whilst she was impersonating Anna Nicole Smith (!!), her relationship with food as both a child and adult, and her brilliant movement #selflovebringsbeauty.We debate about whether the term “plus size model” has a place in the industry anymore and we bond over growing up during the same era, pre-social media, at a time when skinny was deemed sexy.There were a few funny WIFI issues, but that didn’t stop us from having such a laugh. Felicity is vivacious and fun and really loves a crisp like I do!It’s a brilliant episode to end the season on. And as sad as I am to leave you, I will be back in no time for Season 4!! In the meantime, follow all the antics on Instagram @crazysexyfood.  @felicityhayward@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.com Music by @casnova____ This season of Crazy Sexy Food is sponsored by Keejays.Keejays is an independent, family-run business that has been making speciality sauces for professional chefs and home cooks like myself since 1985.  My particular favourites are the Spanish Tomato sauce, with its added paprika, as well as the Tai Po chilli sauce to rev up my meals! Order my favourites as well as the whole collection from www.keejayssauces.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
