Episode 03: Ching He Huang

On this episode I’m joined by Lorraine Candy, the former editor-in-chief of ELLE, Sunday Times Style and Cosmopolitan. She’s an award winning journalist, best-selling author, fellow podcaster and has spent over three decades in the industry interviewing the who’s who of celebrity. Her chart topping podcast, Postcards from Midlife, details the positive stories of midlife women with wit and warmth, and her best-selling books focus on parenting teenagers and the 101 things midlife women need to know.

On this episode I’m joined by Mark Wogan. He’s the brains behind one of my favourite pizza joints, Homeslice. He’s the host of the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, he’s on radio, he’s into biohacking. He’s a man with many interests it seems. He joined me on Season One, waaay back when and thankfully we’re still friends and he’s back for more!

I’m joined by the formidable woman that is Asma Khan. Asma was the first British chef to appear on Netflix’s Chef’s Table and has been at the forefront of Indian cooking in the UK. Her restaurant, Darjeeling Express has taken on many personas and locations since she first opened – more on that in the episode. Her cooking is exciting, but also touches on the traditional inspiration of her country. Asma speaks up a lot about females in the hospitality world and is an advocate for promoting an even playing field. It was a joy to have her back on for a double dip!

Today is not only the tenth and final episode of the season (sad times!!) but it’s a special episode, recorded all the way from Sri Lanka!! I was kindly taken to this beautiful country before Christmas with Pepper & Seed PR to travel round four of the seven properties in the Teardrop Hotels collection. These stunning boutique hotels range from 4-bedroom houses nestled in the tea country, all the way to 18-bedroom properties in the heart of Galle.  In this episode I sit down with Teardop’s CEO, Henry Fitch to talk all about the portfolio, Sri Lankan food, the tea industry and how he found himself in Sri Lanka in the first place!   This was the most magical trip and I wanted to say a huge thank you to Teardrop for their generosity, Pepper & Seed PR for organsing the trip and Sri Lankan Airlines for getting us there and back!    @teardrop_hotels @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I’m so excited to be partnering with Cheffie on Season 11 of the podcast.    Cheffie is not just a platform; it's a dining revolution.

I’m joined by cheeky chap, Calum Harris, this week who popped over to talk all things vegan, why he turned vegan, why he isn’t preachy about being a vegan and his new cookbook, Proper Healthy! We covered it all; his childhood and what he ate growing up, why he loves a ham crisp (!!!!) and why TikTok is better than Instagram! Controversial!  He even brought me food! Delicious chocolate and pistachio cups with crunchy Weetabix bases.

This week I’m joined by Candice Brown, the winner and star from The Great British Bake Off, pub landlady of The Greenman in Eversholt, charity campaigner and all round great girl! We sat down just before the Christmas madness and spoke all about her experience on Bake Off, how it changed her life and catapulted her career, and the path she has travelled since. Candice is brutally honest about dealing with negative press, online trolls and also opened up about her diagnosis of ADHD and dealing with mental health. Candice is a real force of nature and a huge talent and I thoroughly enjoyed this no-holds barred conversation!   @candicebrown @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I’m so excited to be partnering with Cheffie on Season 11 of the podcast.    Cheffie is not just a platform; it's a dining revolution.

I’ve finally got Poppy on the sofa! This week I’m joined by the Potato Queen herself, Poppy Cooks aka Poppy O’Toole. The social media sensation joined to talk all about her new book, The Actually Delicious Slow Cooker Cookbook, how COVID was the pivotal turn in her life, how she became “viral” and how she creates the brilliant content she puts out. I’ve known Poppy for several years now, and watching her grow has been so wonderful to watch. She’s the most down to earth, humble, lovely woman and is as hilarious in real life as she is online. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!   @poppy_⁠⁠cooks⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@crazysexyfood⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@hannahharley⁠⁠ ⁠⁠www.crazysexyfood.com⁠⁠   Music by ⁠⁠@casnova____⁠⁠   I’m so excited to be partnering with Cheffie on Season 11 of the podcast.    Cheffie is not just a platform; it's a dining revolution.
