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 a miso, mushroom risotto with it’s creator, the lovely and brilliant Seema Pankhania - one of the shining stars over at MOB kitchen. We met over zoom because we’d both hurt our ankles which is weird, and also are both busy as absolute fuck. The longer we spoke the funner it got. I really loved the bit where she casually slips in the really long, complicated and uncasual full name of the mobile phone she’s currently working with to promote. Haha. Excellently done, I’d say.

Follow the absolute socks off of SEEMA PANKHANIA on insta, and here she is on TIKTOK with fuck me, millions of likes. Yum yum yum.
And if you’re interested in the recipe she did it as part of a campaign she’s working on in sponsored partnership with Samsung, but the recipe is fit as fuck and easy bloody peasy too - highly recommend. ITS HERE IF YOU WANT TO WATCH.
