Today on Honey & Co: The Food Sessions we're joined by queen of sugar, Ravneet Gill. Ravneet has many strings to her bow - she's a pastry chef and cookbook author, a judge on Junior Bake Off and founder of chefs' collective Countertalk. We're huge fans of everything Ravneet does. We talked to Rav about her route into the world of food, her experiences working in kitchens across London (including ours) and how she came to write her pastry books, get into TV and set up Contertalk. We also (of course) talked everything sugar, cakes and pastries, and sent our love to Biji!

Today on Honey & Co: The Food Sessions we have the most exciting guests, Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley, co-authors of Falastin, a celebration of Palestinian food. They’re both from the powerhouse of Ottolenghi, Sami was a partner from the outset, and Tara joined the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen 10 years ago, where she has been developing and testing recipes ever since. We talked about their very different routes into the food world,our memories of working together at Ottolenghi, and how they came to write Falastin. We were fascinated to hear their experiences visiting Palestine together – we compared Tara’s spreadsheet to Sami’s relaxed approach to travel, heard how they spent days tracking down a group of yogurt makers, and they told us about the generosity of all the people whose kitchens they visited. And of course we discussed at length the recipes that have gone wild since the book came out – Sami’s dad's famous eggs, tahini swirls, and the shawarma filo pie. Get a copy of Falas...

Our guest this week on Honey & Co: The Food Sessions is an incredible chef and a kindred spirit of ours from Seattle, Washington. Renee Erickson is a James Beard award-winning chef and author, she bought her first restaurant at 25 and today co-owns 6 restaurants and bars in Seattle, and that's before we count the doughnut and coffee spots. We're absolutely in awe of her energy and creativity. We talked about the responsibility of owning a restaurant, how she picks her restaurant names and we explored her new book Getaway, the perfect antidote to the last 18 months. Oh and we tried to sell her our restaurants. Spoiler, she did not take us up on the offer. Enjoy!

Welcome back to our podcast Honey & Co: The Food Sessions. We're delighted to welcome Danish food writer and chef, Trine Hahnemann. Trine is hugely important in Danish food culture, she's an inspiration to us personally and a great source of knowledge. She owns a beautiful place in Copenhagen called Hahnemanns Kokken which we were lucky to visit and eat at before Covid. This is a great opportunity for all of us to understand more about Danish cooking – we all know about cinnamon rolls and rye bread but we can sometimes be hazy on the rest. Trine talked to us about the many seasons of Denmark, the importance of working with local farmers and producers, the rise of the Copenhagen food scene, and how she became the lunch queen of Copenhagen. Plus open sandwiches, pickles, fermented potato chips and hygge. Enjoy!

Welcome back to our podcast Honey & Co: The Food Sessions. We're kicking things off with a transatlantic call to the most exciting young chef. Jake Cohen is a New Yorker, he started at culinary school, worked in Michelin kitchens, then moved into food media, writing, reviewing and recipe testing. His first book Jew-ish: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch is a New York Times Bestseller and one of the books we most enjoyed during lockdown. An incredible first book and we can't wait to see what he'll do next. Jake has already built a mighty following on social media, there are already legions of people baking babka and plaiting challah dough along with him on Instagram and Tik Tok, he's a fascinating writer and I know you'll enjoy him as much as we did. Order a copy of JEW-ISH from us at Honey & Spice, or wherever good books are sold. --- With thanks to Producer: Miranda Hinkley Audio Engineers: Paul Brogden & John Scott Theme tune: Daniel Winshall Head of Comms: Louisa Cornford S...

We're back with the fifth and final episode in our series about our new bookCHASING SMOKE, and this week we'll be sharing travel stories and recipes from our incredible trip to Jordan. In this episode we recreate a cheesy sweet knafe we cooked over the fire in Jordan; we catch up with Ramzi Hanafieh our amazing guide who took us on adventures around Jordan from the green Aljoun hills to Petra; and we talk to our friend and photographer Patricia Niven who accompanied us on all our trips about her favourite experiences along the way. We were blown away by everything we saw, everything we ate, and everyone we met in Jordan. We enjoyed mind-blowing landscapes from the hills to the valleys, beautiful tomato galayet bandora cooked over fire on the roadside by Ramzi, and we were so lucky to be welcomed to enjoy a mansaf feast with our new friend Saif. We definitely saved the best episode until last for you... Enjoy! --------- Order a copy of Chasing Smoke Follow us on instagram @honeyandco...
