Hoovering - Episode 29: Simon Rimmer

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.This week my guest is none other than super star chef, restauranteur and co-host of Sunday Brunch amongst loads of other brilliant stuff - it’s the excellent Simon Rimmer. Simon is delightfully open about times where he’s overdone it on the workload, about the media-luvvie bubble it’s too easy to slip into and about the time he ate some whale. His stories about guests on Sunday Brunch are hilarious and his honesty about his journey and imperfections is disarmingly lovely. Honourable MentionsHere’s a link to Simon’s inaugural, incidentally vegetarian restaurant ‘Greens’ and here’s a link to ALL THE BOOKS he’s written like a legend. Most importantly here is Richard Blackwood on Sunday Brunch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpH1goouCLQIf you’re from overseas and hadn’t heard of the crisps/ chips we were talking about click on the name for links to salt & vinegar WALKERS or in my opinion, the superior DISCOS. And here are the original WOTSITS but it’s my view that these M&S one’s are even cheesier. The drink of Simon’s dreams is this swanky AF looking Billecart-Salmon Rose and the less swanky aperitif he chose is this particular brand of peanut butter from Monsieur ‘Skippy’ OH, AndIf you have got a any spare dosh to give a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.
