This is Spectator Radio and you're listening to Table Talk with Olivia Potts and Laura Prendergast.

Hello and welcome to Table Talk, Spectator Life's Food and Drink podcast. I'm Lara Prendergast.

And I'm Livy Potts, the Spectator Life's vintage chef. In this brand

new podcast, we'll be interviewing a different guest each episode and talking to them about their

life through food, looking at starters mains and puddings, where we ask them about their

childhood, food in their adult life, and if it's played a part in their

career. And we're delighted to be joined by Sophia Money Coots. She's the former features

editor at Tatler magazine and is now a freelance journalist and a Sunday Telegraph columnist.

Her new book, The Plus One, came out earlier this year. Svaya, welcome. Hi guys. Hello. So

let's start at the beginning, Sapphire.

Tell us about what your favourite food was when you were little.

When I was really quite young, I must have been four or so coming back from school.

I really vividly remember.

Yeah, being treated by my mum, probably, you know, every couple of weeks something.

To Angel Delight, to

Buttercotch, Angel Delight. She would make sort of ramekins of it in the fridge for us when we

got home from school and it was like a tea-time treat, not all the time, but often enough that's

my sort of most, my loveliest sort of childhood memory when it comes to food. It was just sitting at the kitchen table having taken a ramekin out perfectly set and a spoon and then I don't think one was ever

quite enough actually. I was a little bit sad when I finished that one but I'm pretty sure we

weren't allowed another one. When did you last have it? 33 and not four. I mean probably when I was

like seven or eight or something. Maybe I'll be the next big thing. You'll serve to all dinner parties. It's a new can of pay. It would actually be a very good,

really brilliant, easy, retro dinner party thing.
