Summary
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.
In this episode I’m hoovering with an actor and children’s author called Arthur McBain. He’s a lovely egg who came round mine for daal and roasted cauliflower lunch. We talked up everything from Indian toddler travels to the Trouble with Maggie Cole.
