Episode 05: Millie Mackintosh

After months of cancellations, broken WiFi and “life”, I finally got to sit down with the gorgeous Lisa Snowdon. As a veteran broadcaster, the former Capital FM radio presenter divulges all about her childhood, breaking into the fashion industry and why she gained the nickname “Eggy Eggy Snowdon” on said breakfast radio show!We discuss how the modelling world used to be, and how she used her thick skin – from years of bullying at school – to not conform to the “ideal” model body type.We realise just how much we love cheese – and how much she loves potatoes… and debate over whether a Twiglet is a crisp?! @lisa_snowdon@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.

It was so good to touch base with Kyle after so long. After meeting at a very glamorous fashion party many moons ago, Kyle and I sit down and talk about our mutual love of Ladbroke Grove, his childhood in and out of foster care, and the delicious Bajan food his birth mother used to make for him. He openly discusses the pressures he felt when embarking into the fashion world, and the stereotypes he felt he had to conform to as part of the LGBTQ+ community.I really appreciated Kyle’s honesty in this conversation. We tackle some very important, topical conversations that need to be spoken about.And let’s not forget his admittance of how he likes to eat his crisps!!!

Faya Nilsson exudes such calmness and great energy that I had to get her on the podcast to find out her secrets! Is it her chilled Scandi roots, or her passion for finding union between the 3 pillars in life; nutrition, fitness and calm? Whatever it may be, the Swedish beauty did not disappoint in this week’s chat.We delve into her childhood growing up in rural Sweden, setting up Fitness On Toast as a way to communicate with her clients, and some of the bizarre foods she has tried over the years! We talk about the pros and cons of social media when connected to our physical and mental wellbeing, and how it can be used a great, positive tool, whilst also identifying the fine line crossing into dangerous territory.It was so wonderful having her on, and she even brought me Swedish buns as a gift. She can definitely come over again!This episode is sponsored by Squirrel Sisters – who are on a mission to help you treat your health.

I don’t usually fangirl over my guests but I must say I did over Sami Tamimi. He and Yotam Ottolenghi have created the menu I have devoured over the last decade, and are responsible for bringing sumac, za’atar and tahini into your cupboards. What a pleasure it was to talk all things Palestinian food with the man behind the new cookbook, Falastin.From his upbringing in Palestine, when he’d be kicked out of the kitchen by all the females in his family, to becoming head chef at some of the most notable restaurants in Tel Aviv, Sami discusses his coming to London, meeting Yotam and eventually creating the string of delis and subsequent restaurants that have shaped the London food scene.His new cookbook (co-written with Tara Wigley) delves into his homeland; the beautiful place that is Palestine. Through the media, we are filtered the political unrest and negativity, but Sami perfectly writes about Palestine through the stories of its inhabitants; empowering stories about resilience, optimism and strength. The recipes are easy to make, for the home cook and are absolutely delicious (I’ve already tried a few myself!).This episode is sponsored by Squirrel Sisters – who are on a mission to help you treat your health.

What a joy it was to sit down with Rebecca Ferguson! We hadn’t met before this, but by the end it felt like we’d been friends for ages! We delved into her upbringing in Liverpool, the beginnings of her music career and the experience she had on the X Factor. I also find out her signature dishes she’s been whipping up during CO-VID - including homemade strawberry jam!!Rebecca was very open in discussing her experience on The X Factor, the fame she was catapulted into overnight, and explains that nothing is what it always seems. She is now back with new music, collaborating with the main man Nile Rodgers! I feel like she’s got her mojo back and she’s back bigger and better than ever!We also tackled some very poignant topics in regards to the pressures you are under, to look a certain way when in the limelight. Her frankness and honesty was appreciated.This episode is sponsored by Squirrel Sisters – who are on a mission to help you treat your health.

I’ve known Femi Oyeniran for over 10 years now, but such as life, we’ve been absent from eachother’s lives for a while. It was such a pleasure to sit down, catch up and hear about his world domination; whilst trying to fit in some food chat around it!He discusses his chance meeting with Noel Clarke, which catapulted him into his acting career, as Moony in Kidulthood and Adulthood, his time at LSE studying for a Law degree, his plans as a writer and filmmaker, and why this time, finally, the current Black Lives Matter movement is really going to make a change.We also delve into his Nigerian heritage and bond over our mutual love for the cuisine, and he even teaches me about some dishes I didn’t even know about!This episode is sponsored by Squirrel Sisters – who are on a mission to help you treat your health.
