  • What’s with the sound volume?

    Have found the discussions interesting. But am no longer following or listening as the recorded sound is just too low.

    I love this podcast! My favourite guests are Joseph and Sian. I love hearing what they have been cooking up at the River Cafe. Sian’s “pull out the stops” dishes always sound delicious, as do Joseph’s hearty, seasonal ideas. Thank you all :)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If You Can't Take the Heat… How Does a Restaurant Handle a Roasting Summer?
Q: What were the key menu adaptations for hot weather?
We pulled out cooler, room-temperature or cold dishes like chilled soups, cold tomato salads, and panzenella; we also prepared certain items ahead and chilled them to keep flavors bright and temperatures balanced for service.
Clare Hornby, Founder and CEO of ME+EM
Q: How do you balance the demands of running a growing business with family life?
I view life with children as a marathon and prioritize the moments they'll remember—holidays, weekends, cooking, and sports—while building a business that can sustain both personal and professional growth through disciplined numbers and intuition.
Clare Hornby, Founder and CEO of ME+EM
Q: What was the turning point that led you from pajama wear to Me+Em as a full-fledged brand?
After experimenting with a niche pajama line, we pivoted to Me+Em, combining direct-to-consumer strategies, a focus on fit and fabric, and leveraging my background in luxury retail to create a modern British luxury positioning that resonated in America and beyond.
Clare Hornby, Founder and CEO of ME+EM
Q: Tell me about your early life and how it influenced your path into fashion.
Growing up in Saddleworth near Oldham, I learned the value of hard work, earning money from a young age, and the love of making things with my hands, which later translated into designing clothes and building a brand that emphasizes quality ingredients and careful craftsmanship.
Bonus: Michael Elias on his new book, Bender's LA
Q: Why did you choose to write this as a novel instead of a memoir?
I chose fiction because it allows me to invent and embellish while staying true to the emotional core and experiences that shaped me, giving me creative freedom that a memoir wouldn't.
