It's a heatwave in more than one sense this week. We take a sunny and sweaty road trip to Kent to visit Queen of Sierra Leonian cuisine - Maria Bradford.

Helena is put to work making light as a cloud, flavour-packed Fish Huntu Balls. Izzy surprises herself with her chilli tolerance, and Maria, in another surprising turn of events shares some Posh Portaloo recommendations...

It’s a ‘corker’ of an episode this week (see what we did there) as we pop round to Queen of Vino Hannah Crosbie’s house to chat all things grape and her new book ‘Corker’.

Over a bottle of Pet Nat (in some extremely stylish glasses) Hannah talks Tesco Prosecco, the world of wine writing and answers Producer Izzy’s burning question, what is a ‘natty wine’?

This week we sit down for a #girlslunch in content creator and Mob Food Producer, Romany Henry’s kitchen.

Over Tom Kha Gai  Romany gives us a lesson in rice, the correct order of carbs, and where to find the best Chinese buns in London.

There’s even a food for friends first as we discover a soy sauce cupboard. We even got treated to a sweet potato and Chinese date pudding that had us all glowing.

Then producer Izzy had an unfortunate run in with some chili, and it all went downhill.
