  • My favourite podcast!

    Wonderful podcasts and guests - I particularly loved the Jamie Oliver episode - two friends chatting and it was so revealing; I remember he got so much flak from so many chefs when he was scouted for TV because he was so young but what no one realised was the knife skills he had and how good he was at pasta, spoken about in the episode. Each one really gets under the skin, such a great listen and my favourite show!

  • A Great Listen

    Absolutely fantastic to listen to Theo and Adam. Adam is a top chef and as Theo says at the end he’s a humble man but cares a lot about his team and customers. Which during lockdown I can personally vouch for . I would highly recommend watching this episode

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why You Only Need Three Pasta Sauces: Chef Jacob Kenedy on Why Italian Cuisine Doesn't Exist
Q: Why did you build Bocca de Lupo as an open kitchen and bar-focused space?
To create a live, engaging dining experience where customers can see the food being prepared, feel connected to the kitchen, and enjoy a space that feels intimate yet vibrant, which was ahead of its time in London.
Why You Only Need Three Pasta Sauces: Chef Jacob Kenedy on Why Italian Cuisine Doesn't Exist
Q: What inspires your approach to pasta sauces and book design?
The belief that Italian sauces are rooted in regional traditions, the idea that three core sauces cover most needs, and designing recipes to be understood and executed by home cooks with clear cues and minimal fuss.
Why You Only Need Three Pasta Sauces: Chef Jacob Kenedy on Why Italian Cuisine Doesn't Exist
Q: What would your last meal on earth be?
It would be pasta with a simple lemony salad and olive oil, highlighting good ingredients and a well-made oil, followed by seafood pasta if by the sea, and a classic gelato as a dessert.
How I Lost My Job and Built a Social Media Empire: Poppy O'Toole on Becoming the Potato Queen
Q: What memory from your grandmother most influenced your cooking style?
Her simple, resourceful approach—cooking with humble ingredients, visiting markets, and making every dish about flavor and sharing with family—shaped my philosophy that great food can come from everyday moments.
How I Lost My Job and Built a Social Media Empire: Poppy O'Toole on Becoming the Potato Queen
Q: So this all started during lockdown, how did the shift from chef to social media entrepreneur happen?
We started posting recipe videos with my husband to fill our time while furloughed; the videos gained traction as people were at home cooking, which led to growing followers and eventually a brand around my potato-focused dishes.
