This is just a guide to modern life.

Modern life is hard to get just right.

It can frustrate you and annoy.

And if it does, write into Dear Lovejoy.

Welcome to the Dear Lovejoy podcast, and it's a a special and it's a very strange podcast today.

Well, strange is the wrong word.

It's just different.

We've got Julie Waddle coming on who's the woman who invented smoked hummus.

And very briefly the story, I'll get her to tell it in a bit more detail

but very briefly she she contacted me and said maybe we should do something on the podcast

maybe I could sponsor you and then I started talking to her I thought her story was so cool

that I thought people would be interested she basically set this business up and yeah, she's made a real success

of it. I'll let her tell the story when we got on the podcast in a minute. But she also bought in a lot

of her products for us to taste. So, Fina, what do you make of the product? So tasty. So tasty. I'm

not just saying that. I don't lie. This stuff is really good. It tastes absolutely immense.

Slightly more expensive than normal hummus.

It's so worth it.

Yeah, you can tell why, because it does taste great. But apologies. I get, I hadn't had any lunch, so I just keep eating and eating. And a lot of it, I'm crunching carrots through it. So, yeah, apology for that. But let's meet her. This is Julie Waddle.

Julie, welcome to my kitchen. Thank you very much for coming down from Devon today, is it?
