A Very Nigel(la) Quiet Riot: Xmas Special Part II

from Quiet Riot · host Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith, Kenny Campbell

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith welcome two very special guests - their best friends Nigel Smith and Nigella Lawson. Recorded with a special live audience of many of our previous guests, in this PART II we look forward to 2025, take questions from the audience, and - of course - talk all about FOOD!!! ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “If you hurry the cooking of an onion, all is lost.” “I would win Ready, Steady, Cook. I would be very good at that.” “I don’t like gadgets that lock you out of the cooking process.” “Whenever there is a new fashionable ingredient, I tend to feel sorry about the old ones. So, I pivot to carrots.”  “Channelling Alex’s radical optimism, where are you all going to find joy in the next year? Wherever we bloody well can!" "Joy is in the small things. The way the light falls in through a curtain. Or having a vodka-martini so cold it hurts. Or the perfectly constructed sentence in a book you’re reading. I don’t know you can start worrying about where it should best come from.”  “The connections we build with people is the thing we really build our lives from. It starts with the personal. That’s how we make a better future.” “The small unexpected kindnesses give me joy, because they give me hope, that there is something underneath all the darkness, and we just have to find a way to mine it.”  CALLS TO ACTION: The charity Praxis can be found here. Food decorations from Sous Chef. Nigella's recipe for Fig and Olive Chutney. Find us on Facebook and Twitter as @quietriotpod. For Bluesky click here for your Quiet Riot Bluesky Starter Pack.
