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 I’m talking to the brilliant, kind, bright comedian and actor HARRIET KEMSLEY. She teaches me an insane amount about anaphylactic shock, not least how to bloody say it as she comes with a raft of harrowing and hilarious experience on that front. 


Recipes


We ate LOTTIE SHAW’S SERIOUSLY GOOD MINCE PIES (which were defo vegan) 


I’m afraid I can’t find where we got the vegan brownies from but if you’re ever in Streatham and you pass a bakery with a name that sounds like an estate agents - you’re there!
