Chef and food writer Melissa Hemsley shares her six personal picks with Good Housekeeping’s Liz Moseley.    Melissa began her career as a private chef, before becoming a food writer and penning columns for The Telegraph and Vogue. Melissa’s ethos is all about unprocessed food which is good for our bodies as well as the planet, and she works with a number of fairtrade and sustainable food organisations. Melissa has six cookbooks under her belt and a Substack newsletter, Things That Make My Heart Sing By Melissa Hemsley with tens of thousands of subscribers. Over tea and her favourite biscuits, Melissa shares the “comfort ingredient” she puts in everything, reveals the herbal remedy which helped her during a tough post-partum period and explains how her relationship with her mum evolved when Melissa became a parent herself.   You can watch full episodes of My Life in a Biscuit Tin on the Good Housekeeping UK YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/goodhousekeepinguk   Visit the Good Housekeeping UK website for homes inspo, recipes, tried and tested reviews and more. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/   Share your thoughts with us at [email protected]   To learn more about Good Housekeeping VIP head to ghmembers.co.uk   Learn more about your ad choices.
