157: Helen Goh on Baking and the Meaning of Life

Andrea and Kate speak with Helen Goh about her thirty years of working in the food and hospitality industry and why she chose now to write her first solo book. She speaks about her time working with the Ottolenghi brand, her hesitation at embarking on a solo venture and the pros and cons of working alone or partnered. She's had many evolutions in the personal and professional spheres and talks about finding freedom in her work and her thoughts behind this book; its title, organization and how her psychology background informed its creation. She ends by sharing what baking means to her— its role in rituals and traditions— and ends with her experience juggling both of her careers, the cerebral and the tangible.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsHelen GohGuardian ColumnInstagram Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showBaking and the Meaning of Life with Helen GohSweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh
