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.
This week’s guest is the extraordinary actor, artist and author, Katy Wix. She’s written a book called Delicacy which is out on 15th April - I had the pleasure of reading a sneak early copy of it and it absolutely set off a bomb in my heart. I don’t want to give anything away but it’s the saddest, funniest most eating-honest book I’ve ever read. Incredible, so we hoover over a lunch of a ‘boring sandwich’ each, and we get right, deep, properly into it all of it.
