Hoovering

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.This week my guest is the extraordinarily talented comedian, writer, activist and also new Mum, Josie Long. I’m lucky enough to be allowed round hers to meet her new little baby and partner. We eat an Ottolenghi aubergine feast and her tiny daughter feeds too, live, which is a wonderful Hoovering first! Josie’s experiences and opinions on everything from diet culture or buffets are the most glorious waterfall of fresh joyous hope and wonder. What an excellent woman. RecipesI made us the aubergine and lentil stew from Ottolegnhi’s new book ‘Simple’. For the recipe click HERE and I can’t recommend the book enough. I’m already obsessed. I just used a bit of Alpro single cream instead of creme freche. Honourable MentionsOttoleng
