I credit my parents for leading me to my love of food, but I've never really explored where their own love of food comes from, so I wanted to quiz them about their own parents, the foods they ate growing up and how they went from a young couple who never ate out to regular restaurant goers and world travellers. In the episode, we talk about growing up with ration books, sharing a love of Fry's Chocolate Cream bars, and the secret to a long and happy marriage.

In the episode, Clover speaks movingly about the horse-riding accident that left her mother severely disabled when Clover was a teenager, and how that experience changed her family life and her relationship with her sister Nell. She talks about the death of both her mother and Nell, relating it to family food memories of home-cooked lasagne, roll-mop herrings and fish chowder. Finally, we also talk about Dame Deborah James and why it's important to encourage healthy conversation around death.


About Clover Stroud:

Clover Stroud is a writer and journalist whose work features regularly in the Sunday Times, the Guardian and the Saturday and Sunday Telegraph, among others. Her first book, The Wild Other, was shortlisted for The Wainwright Prize. Her critically acclaimed second book, My Wild & Sleepless Nights: A Mother's Story, was rated one of the 'best books of the year, 2020' by the Observer and the Telegraph and the Sunday Times, and was a Sunday Times bestseller.

Ana was named The World’s Best Female Chef in 2017 and Hisa Franko is a regular on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. But beyond the accolades, Ana is a hard-working mother of two, struggling with the same issues every mother experiences. In the episode, we talk about anorexia and baby loss, encouraging her children to try new foods and experiencing guilt as a working mum.


About Ana Ros:

Ana became a chef by accident, taking over her then-husband Valter’s restaurant when her father-in-law retired. That meant turning down a job as a diplomat in Brussels, which led her own father to stop talking to her. Since then, Ana has starred in her own episode of the brilliant Chef’s Table documentary on Netflix and has won countless accolades. In 2020, she published her beautiful memoir, Sun and Rain, featuring recipes alongside moving stories on everything from losing a baby to suffering from anorexia, and overcoming family pressure to follow a different career path.

In the episode, we talk about the power of food in friendship, the underrepresentation of Nigerian cuisine and how Nikki plans to be an extra in the upcoming TV adaptation of her book.


About Nikki May:

Nikki was born in Bristol and raised in Lagos until the age of 20, when she dropped out of medical school and moved to London. She began a career in advertising before going on to run a successful agency, and went on to write Wahala, which is now being adapted into major TV serial by the BBC.

For the best part of a decade, Justin was an anonymous blogger who went under the pseudonym of The Guyliner, writing about his experiences of dating. After five years writing for the Gay Times, he now has a weekly column for GQ and has written articles on everything from dick pics and dating green flags to a handy guide to whether you’re giving your partner the ick. In 2017, he outed himself as Justin Myers in order to publish his first novel, The Last Romeo, before going on to write two more novels and being dubbed 'the master of the modern romcom'. Our discussion covers everything from the best and worst foods to eat on a first date to the gentrification of working class foods and the issues with food and class.


About Justin Myers: Perhaps best known for his Guardian Blind Date reviews, Justin is a freelance journalist who writes about love, dating and other topics under the name The Guyliner. He is the author of three novels including The Last Romeo, The Magnificent Sons and The Fake-Up, and he was also a script consultant for the BBC adaptation of Adam Kay's non-fiction book This Is Going to Hurt. Justin grew up in Shipley, West Yorkshire, and now lives in London.



About the host: Laura Price is a multilingual journalist who travels the world writing about restaurants. A proud Yorkshire lass at heart, she spent several years in Latin America before settling in London with her two cats. Her first novel, Single Bald Female, is inspired by her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 29. A novelist by day and a food writer by night, Laura combines her two passions into this podcast, bringing out powerful stories of survival and healing in a language that everyone understands – food.

The discussion covers everything from nutrition to body positivity, guilt and shame - and eating cake with whipped cream at funerals. Delve into this episode for an uplifting chat with the author of the Sunday Times bestselling memoir Glittering a Turd.


About Kris Hallenga: Kris founded CoppaFeel with her twin sister Maren after being diagnosed with incurable (or stage four) breast cancer when she was 23. Thirteen years later, the charity raises £2m a year for its fundraising and is backed by celebrities including Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton. While being treated for her cancer, Kris has run a half marathon, starred in a documentary, written a book, started a coffee and cake business, organised an annual music festival, won a Pride of Britain award and successfully campaigned to get cancer on the school curriculum in the UK. Her campaigning has helped saved countless lives by giving people the tools to understand their bodies so that if they are ever diagnosed with cancer, it is caught while it’s still treatable. She lives by the sea in Cornwall, England.
