1. Sofia Levin - Family rituals, surrealist cookbooks and the art of finding hidden gems.

If sunshine took human form, it would look a lot like Sofia Levin. She’s a journalist, food critic, travel writer and MasterChef judge. Sofia also has an incredible website called "Seasoned Traveller" and a newsletter "Eat Curiously" where she shares lesser known food stories. Her motto, #EatCuriously, encourages people to step outside of their culinary comforts to learn more about others and themselves. She’s a total gem. And there was possibly no better person to help put FFE Radio Hour on the air with our debut episode! We spoke about Sofia's love of finding the weird and wonderful places to score a feed (and how she delves into the national census data to do so), her ongoing family rituals, and a few of her favourite "sexy weirdos".
