Summary

Margie’s castaway is Rebekah Hall.

She is the founder of Botanic Lab. Botanic Lab was one of the first juice companies in the UK and they make really delicious juices. Genuinely, really delicious.

Rebekah is very impressive and I really like the ethos of the brand; they aren’t selling a dream and they don’t pretend their juices will transform you into a Victoria Secret’s model. They just make delicious, finctional drinks, which are both creative and delicious. In the world we live in selling the dream of quick fix weight loss and meal replacements would be the easy option and I admire that they actively stayed away from that.

I found it so interesting that Rebekah is a food entrepreneur but is not really interested in cooking (by her own admission I might add). But she knows what she likes and with her friends and family keen to cook for her, it sounds like she has it pretty good.

I love finding out how people got to where they are and I think Rebekah’s journey into becoming an entrepreneur is really interesting and hopefully might inspire some of you.

Desert Island Dish: Rhubarb crumble with custardLuxury item: pillow

We are definitely in agreement over the rhubarb crumble with custard, such a delicious choice. Crumble in general is just the best. The best of the best. And this is most definitely crumble weather which is just yet another thing to be happy about. And sounds like we all need to find a member of Soho House to tag along with and eat the burrata with figs. You just know that will be good.

Don’t forget you can find me on Instagram @madebymargie, so do pop over and say hi. And if you want to hear from any guests in particular you can ping me an email at [email protected].

Thank you for listening. Double thank you if you have subscribed and left a 5* review (wink wink).

See you soon!

Bye!

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Margie and you are listening to another episode of Desert Island Dishes. I'm back from a long
0:08.8	weekend in New York feeling rounder, broke and pretty tired. All the makings of a great trip.
0:16.9	Although, I think I was a few of those things before the holiday. Seriously, though, I don't think I could
0:23.4	have eaten any more. And I genuinely think I might have found the best pizza in the world. That's right.
0:30.4	Big claim. But honestly, I mean, it was just the kind of piece that I would marry if it asked.
0:36.1	If you're in New York, you need to go to Prince Street pizza.
0:40.2	Don't mess around, get the pepperoni, and ask them to make it extra crispy.
0:44.9	Like, seriously, I'm just drooling at the thought.
0:47.8	I'm going to do a blog post on my blog, made by Margie.com.uk with lots of different recommendations.

1:24.5	will transform you into a Victoria's Secret model. They're just
1:28.1	creative and really delicious and I genuinely just really like them. I hope you enjoy.
1:39.3	Hello, Rebecca. It's so lovely to meet you. Thank you very much for being here on Desert Island Dishes.
1:45.3	My pleasure. So Rebecca, you're the founder of Botanic Lab, the Cold Press Juice Company. So I guess that makes you a food entrepreneur. And I'm really looking forward to hearing all about your favorite foods. I've heard you talk about the competitive landscape of the juice industry, and I wondered,
2:01.8	what is it that makes Botanic Lab different?
2:04.5	Well, I think there's lots of things that make Botanic Lab different.
2:07.2	I think I'm not a traditional food entrepreneur.
