Laurie Woolever: 'I know what Anthony Bourdain was really like!'

Laurie Woolever: 'I know what Anthony Bourdain was really like!'

This week I’m joined by Laurie Woolever. You may not recognise her by name but you’ll definitely know the man she worked for! None other than Anthony Bourdain. As Tony’s assistant for many years up until his passing in 2018, Laurie has worked in the culinary world for decades as a food writer, recipe tester, cookbook author and also as the assistant to the infamous Mario Batali.

She joined me earlier this year in London, whilst on her book tour. She released her memoir, Care and Feeding, which details her hedonistic life in the New York food scene. She led a life of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, before finding sobriety. Laurie is very open about her past, and we go into real detail about her time working with Anthony, what he was like behind the scenes and the memory he’s left imprinted on this world. Enjoy this episode, it’s a good one!

Episode 04: Richard Young

Episode 04: Richard Young

I got my dad on the podcast!! Clearly all professionalism went out the window during this week’s sit down, but whilst we could, we delved into his childhood growing up in Hackney and the Jewish food he was surrounded by. We discuss how he got into the world of showbusiness and the wonderful celebrities he has photographed over his 45 year career.He praises his wife – my mum – as the best cook out there hence why he doesn’t know how to cook a thing (well, he knows how to make burnt toast) and he explains why he loves food shows and the late Anthony Bourdain. It was a pleasure having Dad on!@richardyoung110Music by @casnova____ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 03: Twice The Health

Given the current worldwide climate we find ourselves in, this week's episode couldn't come at a better time! For all you running and fitness enthusiasts – this episode is for you! It was so exciting to finally sit down one-on-one with Emily and Hannah, health and fitness influencers and ladies behind my favourite run club We Are Runners. I have them to thank for getting through my gruesome training runs for my London Marathon debut last year!We talk all things nutrition, life balance, extreme ultra marathons through deserts and – of course – our love of food!We delve into Hannah’s experience running 250km through the Jordanian desert last year (gulp!) as well as their love of ultra marathons and why and how they tackle them. We debate the social media culture we live in now and how it plays a huge part in our fitness and wellbeing mentalities. And I finally open up about my marathon experience last year and the emotions that came with the experience.@twicethehealth@wearerunnersukMusic by @casnova____ Hosted on Acast.

Episode 02: Kish Kash

Episode 02: Kish Kash

I got to sit down with Kish Kash, a cultural archivist and all-round cool dude about town. He owns the largest sneaker collection I’ve ever seen and loves his food just as much as I do.He came over to mine for cake and chats; we discussed all things sneakers, streetwear, food and restaurants and he even had the cheek to try and get me to cook for him afterwards!We delve into Kish Kash’s childhood growing up in an Indian family outside of London and how music and football provided a huge inspiration for him as a young boy. His love of food stems from his mum’s incredible cooking and nowadays he hits up all the great spots around London – he’s even provided me with some fantastic recommendations!It was really interesting to pick his brain about the current climate of the fashion world, namely the urban wear sector and how the new generation these days are consuming.Make sure you listen on until after the credits to hear some very funny outtakes that Kish didn’t know were being recorded!@kishkashMusic produced by @casnova____ Hosted on Acast.

Episode 01: Jada Sezer

In this episode, I get to hear all about how she got to where she is now, her work as an ambassador with UN Women, running the London Marathon in her underwear(!) and I was even introduced to her secret cupboard of chocolate and crisps!We spoke about the challenges faced with social media, Instagram and how she deals with photo retouching. Last year she turned down the opportunity to go on Love Island, and we speak about why this was such a good move for her; she still has full control over her image and message. Hosted on Acast.
