Poppy O’Toole on TikTok, Tots, and Dealing with Trolls

Poppy O’Toole on TikTok, Tots, and Dealing with Trolls

Michelin-trained chef turned TikTok sensation, Poppy O’Toole opens up about her rise to viral fame and how her decision to move back in with her parents during the pandemic inspired her to pivot career paths. The “Potato Queen” details her decade-long culinary ascension from making tea in a retirement home to working in a pub, that eventually led her to become a junior sous chef at a Michelin star restaurant before the UK went into lockdown. Her newfound TikTok stardom came with inevitable internet trolls and hateful comments on her posts and she shares how she copes with sexists and negative people online and in the restaurant industry. Poppy reveals what impact she hopes to have on the culinary world, what motivates her to keep creating and sharing her recipes and why she chose potatoes as her staple ingredient. In this episode, she shares the secret to making her favorite recipes, which she’s introduced to the world through her 25 Days of Potatoes video series on TikTok and new cookbook Poppy Cooks: The Food You Need, with flavors ranging from crispy chips to potato-based desserts baked into every page.
