    S17 Ep 6: Rob Delaney
    This week we have our favourite Bostonian comedy actor joining us for lunch at mine, and what a treat it was! Mum was over the moon to have the ā€˜dazzlingly handsomeā€™ Rob in front of her, and - over an absolutely delish Nigel Slater peach and poached chicken salad - we heard all of his hilarious and heartwarming stories. He told us about meeting his wife at a summer camp 20 years ago, joining an olive oil club with his next door neighbour, working with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the horrendous food poisoning he got from a dodgy oyster, and weā€™ve found another Table Manners guest with a penchant for a cold water swim! Rob is not only a fabulous actor, but also a great cook apparently - weā€™re coming round for a chicken noodle soup soon! Rob is currently staring in Bad Monkey which is available to stream now on Apple TV+.

    S17 Ep 5: Gary Barlow

    On the pod this week, we welcome the legendary Gary Barlow! In between early morning studio sessions and tour rehearsals, Gary stopped by my house to share some brilliant stories ā€” from his days on the road with Take That, where he and the band indulged in the infamous ā€œKing Naanā€ curry competition, to the comforts of home, like his mumā€™s classic chicken and mushroom pie. On the menu is a recipe Iā€™ve never made before, from the Sunlight & Breadcrumbs recipe book by Renee Erickson & Sara Dickerman - mum is obsessed! Scrambled eggs with radicchio, parmesan and balsamic with @dustyknucklebakery focaccia and for pud, the banana bread from the Table Manners cookbook.


    Gary opened up about his journey into winemaking, his love of good food, wine and the perfect juicer (he loves a daily shroom smoothie). He even let us in on his rider staples and reminisced about listening to music with King Charles.Ā 


    Garyā€™s new ITV series Gary Barlow's Wine Tour: South Africa starts from 11th Nov. ā€Ž


    Join us for a one off special live recording with Choose Love at The Union Chapel in Islington on December 2nd - more information here

    S17 Ep 4: Countess Luann

    Iā€™m a housewives fan - well, if Iā€™m being honest, I have been religiously loyal to Beverley Hills and now the reboot of NYC, however I knew this would be a biggy for any Real Housewives fan.Ā So I put in the work of consuming 13 series of RHONYC to learn about the one, the only Countess Luann.Ā And goodness me, Iā€™m glad I did!

    Thereā€™s many firsts on this episode: having a Countess on,Ā having one of my friends come over to listen, and also having to nip out mid recording for a daughters school choir performance due to our dear Luanne being rather tardy (ā€˜the traffic was awfulā€™ ā€“ thatā€™s the effect of a housewife!)

    The iconic singer, model, etiquette pro, author & TV personality came over to New Cross looking fabulous in, well, of course Jovani!Ā 

    I fed her some boiled chicken (more delicious than it sounds) & mum made a strudel.

    She told us all about her friendship with Tilda Swindon, her love of caviar on a potato, her parents regimented sex life & whilst I had to pop out, Luann chatted to mum about growing up as a family of 7 (!) in Connecticut. This was a wild one but a GREAT one! Enjoy!

    Luannā€™s upcoming show ā€˜Countess Cabaretā€™ comes to the UK in February ā€“ tickets are on sale now. you donā€™t want to miss it. It was Chic, Cā€™est la Vie, Cā€™est Bon x

    S17 Ep 1: Gillian Anderson
    Season 17! Weā€™re back! We couldnā€™t kick off the brand new series without an icon joining us, and who better than the excellent Gillian Anderson. Gillian joined us to talk about her new book ā€˜Wantā€™, all about sexual fantasiesā€¦ not a conversation I thought mum & I would ever have. We also heard about the tuna fish casserole with crisps her mum made her while growing up, playing Blanche Dubois, her favourite green jello thanksgiving side dish (itā€™s giving Ghostbusters!), the future of The Fall and she teaches us all about her G Spot!

    S16 Ep 38: Kate Winslet
    Weā€™re still on our summer break, but just in time for your back to school runs we offer up a very, VERY special one off episode with the absolutely legendary Kate Winslet! We met Kate at a hotel and served up some delicious Honey&Co food while we chatted over lunch. Kate is a top tier foodie and taught us so many vegan and vegetarian dishes to make; the recipes poured out of her! We also heard about the delicious roast dinners she had while growing up, why she wasnā€™t at the Titanic premiere (but I was!), how a very special dining table inspired her film ā€˜Leeā€™, why she wants to try topless dinner parties, her dream of one day being Sandy in Grease and we even get a story she has never told before (our fave)!

    Second Helpings - Noel Gallagher

    For our final episode of this Second Helpings series, weā€™re joined by an Oasis legend! Mum was over the moon this week to be joined by fellow Mancunian and music legend Noel Gallagher for a spot of brunch back in series 15. Mum and Noel got on like a house on fire sharing all their tales from up north. Noel shared a few vital revelations; that he always drinks tea with goats milk, heā€™s only ever had one driving lesson, he didnā€™t try a boiled egg until he turned 30 (!!), and his favourite weekend of the year is getting pissed and watching the Eurovision Song Contest!Ā 


    We have absolutely loved our trip down memory lane, thank you for being on the ride with us! We will be back before you know it for our next series, which we can exclusively reveal will be back in October! More exciting details to follow soon...

    Second Helpings - Jamie Oliver
    Weā€™re back for week 5 of our Second Helpings series, and itā€™s chef week! We were only going to do meals on wheels and travel to someone else's place if they were someone we had been angling for since series 1. And of course they were most certainly going to get THE chicken soup (I had a massive cold so it was selfishly suggested by moi). We went to meet the one and only Jamie Oliver! The Naked Chef, the people's champ, the person who taught most of us millennials how to cook. We grabbed Jamie at Jamie Oliver HQ after we watch him high five all his staff, kiss babies and see a team pickling sesh going on. He proclaims mum's balls are the best he's ever had, we talk a lot about family, the nostalgic smell of hibiscus, dyslexia, his wife eating gravy with a fork and holding back his cookbook Veg for years. Weā€™re back next week for our final Second Helpings of this series, but boy are we going out with a bang, our favourite music legend and icon, we canā€™t wait!

    Second Helpings - Paul & Mary McCartney
    Itā€™s week 4 of Second Helpings, and this was one of our most memorable episodes yet! Question, how do you behave when you have a music icon on your podcast? Well, you have a massive fight in front of him of course! Aside from a small bout of bickering, we had lunch with Sir Paul and Mary McCartney and talked about 30 years of Linda McCartney's legacy in the vegetarian food market. We hear about Maryā€™s adventurous childhood on tour with Wings, Paul talks about life after The Beatles and they share memories of becoming vegetarian with Linda cooking a macaroni turkey so Paul could carve something at Christmas. Lennie crowns them ā€˜the Vegeneersā€™, Paul talks about his famous margarita cocktail ā€˜Maccaritaā€™ and explains the real way to eat Yorkshire puddings. He also offers us a step by step brief on how to make the perfect bagel, gives us a quick eye yoga lesson and reveals how the song Let It Be came about. We could have gone on forever!! Next week on Second Helpings itā€™s chef week, and weā€™re delving back into the archives for one of our very favourite foodie episodes...
