    Jan 30 2025
    What a joy it is to be joined by the incredibly charming and wonderfully talented Emily Roux at her restaurant Caractère, which is celebrating its 5th anniversary and this year hoping that they may have just charmed the Michelin inspectors enough to win their first star. Emily is joined in the kitchen with her husband Diego Ferrari (Ex Head Chef at Le Gavroche) and they are creating some of the best dishes in London. Today we were lucky enough to sit down with her and properly uncover all her stories from her career so far and find out about the pressures of growing up with the Roux family name. We discuss everything from; the delights of French supermarkets to why she chose not to keep Le Gavroche alive to false claims of nepotism by jealous onlookers to the rudest customers she's ever had to how cancellations are ruining the restaurant industry and much much more....So sit back, relax and enjoy.

    S3 Ep20: Niklas Ekstedt - The Brutality Of Working At El Bulli - René Redzepi's Temper & How He Made Cooking Over Fire Michelin Star Worthy!
    Jan 27 2025
    Today we're truly honoured to be joined by one of the most famous Michelin starred chefs in the world in Niklas Ekstedt, who's inspired a whole culinary movement by opening his restaurant 'Ekstedt' in Stockholm in 2011. Niklas decided to get rid of all modern appliances; ovens, grills, microwaves, sous vides and replace them purely with birchwood fuelled fires. This creates a significantly increased amount of challenges for his cooking but also forces him to be creative and innovative to the point where he's invented some of the most famous dishes in the world. Today he takes us through his incredible journey from; growing up in rural Sweden to travelling to America to work for the late Charlie Trotter in Chicago and then onto being an early employee for El Bulli. He hated his time at El Bulli so greatly that he eventually walked out and headed back to Sweden to set up his first restaurant at just 21, where he employed a certain gentleman called René Redzepi. Niklas shares with us some of the most entertaining stories from these times but also some incredible advice on how to get the most out of your talents. He's a pure joy to listen to.
