Double Dipping with... Asma Khan

I absolutely loved sitting down with my good friend, Eric Lanlard, the French pâtissier extraordinaire. We recorded from his baking school in South West London, Cake Boy, which is the cake emporium you need to know about!Growing up in North West France, Eric knew what he wanted to do since he was 5 years old and signed up to his local patisserie to make sure he was taken on as an apprentice as a teenager.He regales incredible anecdotes from his time working for the French Navy on the battleships, his time in London with The Roux brothers, and he explains the intricacies of patisserie and the scientific nature of baking.Eric is a true artist, his cakes and bakes are not just visually pleasing, but sensational in taste and texture. He really is the king of baking!@eric_lanlard@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am beyond excited to announce that I have partnered up with Magimix for this season of Crazy Sexy Food!As the inventor of the food processor, Magimix is a family owned business that has an amazing reputation as makers of quality kitchen appliances and are cherished and adored all around the world by both chefs and home cooks alike.I remember growing up and always seeing my mum's beloved Magimix on her counter top, and the utter ease of how she used it.

It was a pleasure to host Shiza Shahid at my home, the co-founder and owner of Our Place – the cookware brand taking the world by storm.But Our Place is a mere fraction of what this incredible woman stands for. She also co-founded the Malala Fund in 2013, and has fought for women’s rights and the right for education for young girls since she was a teenager. She is completely in line with my ethos when it comes to food and sharing moments together; the table is for everyone, regardless of who you are or where you’re from.We talk about her childhood growing up in Pakistan during a time where it was becoming very politically turbulent and she opens up about her friendship with Malala and how they have worked together to create and change in the world.Our Place is a beautiful brand that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, but stands for community and inclusion and Shiza’s path has only just begun. Mark my words; she’s going to make a serious impact on this world!@shiza@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am beyond excited to announce that I have partnered up with Magimix for this season of Crazy Sexy Food!As the inventor of the food processor, Magimix is a family owned business that has an amazing reputation as makers of quality kitchen appliances and are cherished and adored all around the world by both chefs and home cooks alike.I remember growing up and always seeing my mum's beloved Magimix on her counter top, and the utter ease of how she used it.

What better way to bring in episode 2 than with my first ever couple! And they’re not just any couple… Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones are the ultimate couple of all couples!They work together; Richard plays base in Sophie’s band, they parent together; they have 5 children (not 3, Hannah!! Listen in to hear my huge mess up!), and they have now written a cookbook together; Love Food Family! Is there anything these 2 can’t do?!We talk all about the new book, how they met each other and what they cooked for each other, Richard reminisces about a life pre-social media (it involves Dominic West, Glasto and The Royals….) and Sophie details her very “interesting” rider request when on tour.I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and asked for them to adopt me if at all possible! Oh, and things get realllllllly juicy when talking crisps – tune in to find out why!@sophieellisbextor@richardjonesface@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am beyond excited to announce that I have partnered up with Magimix for this season of Crazy Sexy Food!As the inventor of the food processor, Magimix is a family owned business that has an amazing reputation as makers of quality kitchen appliances and are cherished and adored all around the world by both chefs and home cooks alike.I remember growing up and always seeing my mum's beloved Magimix on her counter top, and the utter ease of how she used it.

I’M BACKKKK!!!!! And it feels so good! Thank you for sticking around this long! How are we onto Season 7 already?!I thought I’d treat you all and kick the season off in style, with the sultry tones of Grace Dent, the restaurant critic, broadcaster and author! I have officially given her the title of National Treasure; a name she is beyond excited to receive.She discusses her show with Ainsley Harriott, Best of Britain by the Sea. They had the best time travelling around the country finding the best seaside resorts, hotels and food; but we do agree it’s difficult to eat fish and chips in London; you have to be by the sea.Grace eloquently talks about her childhood in Carlisle. It was the world of processed, beige food and we reminisce about her time at More! Magazine… those were the days!She really does have the best job! She breaks down what makes a great restaurant; the nuances, what she bases her opinions on but admits that she spends most of her time at Pret a Manger! And we love the same sandwich – posh cheddar and pickle!!We end the chat with the ULTIMATE crisps conversation – we will be friends for life!!! You know what time it is!!@gracedent@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am beyond excited to announce that I have partnered up with Magimix for this season of Crazy Sexy Food!As the inventor of the food processor, Magimix is a family owned business that has an amazing reputation as makers of quality kitchen appliances and are cherished and adored all around the world by both chefs and home cooks alike.I remember growing up and always seeing my mum's beloved Magimix on her counter top, and the utter ease of how she used it.

This week I am joined by Edson Diaz-Fuentes and his wife Natalie Feary, the duo behind Santo Remedio. The Mexican restaurants, found in London Bridge and Shoreditch, are bringing the real flavours of Mexico to London. This was a conversation about one of – if not my number one – favourite cuisines!Edson remembers queuing up for tamales in Kindergarten; depicting beautiful memories of his childhood in Mexico City.We discuss how far Mexican food has come over the last 10-15 years in London. We’ve moved from Tex Mex offerings to proper Mexican flavours and tastes. Mexico is an incredibly biodiverse country with loads of influence from the Spanish, Portuguese and even Lebanese!We talk about their meeting in Mexico, and moving the romantic relationship into a business partnership too! And we have an important conversation about tequila and why I can’t drink mezcal!They tell us what they’re serving up at Taste this year – and my god you’re in for a treat! I’ll see y’all at the front of the queue!@santoremedio_uk@crazysexyfood@hannahharley@tasteoflondonwww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am beyond excited to be partnering with Taste of London, the city’s biggest and best food and drink festival, for this special 4-part series.
