Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware

Lennie and I became California girls for a couple of weeks and took Table Manners to La La Land! Thanks to Virgin Atlantic, we travelled in style and documented our journey in the air! We recorded part of this special episode at 35,000 feet. 

Two weeks of food, drinks, guests and palm trees! Table Manners the Los Angeles Affairs begins this Wednesday.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’ve admired the wonderful chef Thomasina Miers for a long time so we were thrilled to welcome her to Table Manners. 

Tommi kindly brought pud, but before we devoured her delicious chocolate cake with tequila and chilli, we discussed food activism, the importance of soil, Chefs for Schools, eating seasonally, food education & how to cook the perfect omelette, along with her love of Mexico and chillis...

Greek-Cypriot comedian, actor, writer and all round brilliant funny guy Jamie Demetriou joins us on Table Manners this week. 

Over a rather delightful butternut squash galette (if I say so myself) and few other overzealous dishes in an attempt to wow the vegetarian, we talk about cooking for himself as a child, his dad being a chef, the importance of a good tomato sauce, pickled onion monster munch & him being in a band...

This week we welcome American DJ & superstar record producer Diplo to Clapham. 

We talk all about him growing up in Florida, eating endless amounts of shrimp, growing his own Avocados, eating canned food as a child & how to make the most of an all-you-can-eat buffet...

We did EVERYTHING in our power to get this guy in mum's kitchen, but covid had other ideas…however - the man, the legend, THE Michael Buble joins us on Table Manners on Zoom this week and he did not disappoint. We spoke about Michael’s discovery of Dishoom in London, his Nonna’s red sauce risotto, Sunday BBQs in Buenos Aires, how he met his wife, his children being bilingual & McDonald’s nostalgia with his grandfather...

AD. Thanks to PayPal we’re serving up an extra episode this week – a special bonus ep with the wonderful Candice Brathwaite who joins us to talk about her recent mission in empowering and encouraging people to open up conversations about money. In this honest podcast, we talk about her Carribean heritage, Saturday soup, her love of oysters & seafood, her obsession with macaroons & how she knows more about Sex & The City than Lennie! What an insightful woman. Listen here...

We have wanted this woman since the start of Table Manners.. she’s been on the hit list since day one and finally, we have her! 

The one, the only, Dame Joanna Lumley popped over to Clapham for a vegetable pie & some poached pears and it was quite frankly, absolutely fabulous.

Joanna talks to us about growing up in India, being addicted to limes, her love of the Queen & cocktail nights at home...

Bleary eyed after our big win, we welcomed our first AC12 guest, Steve Arnott.. better known as Martin Compston onto Table Manners. As Line of Duty’s biggest fan, mum was in her element serving up delicious lamb & pistachio and only slightly disappointed not to hear an Essex accent from our Scottish guest...

We have a living legend on the podcast this week, Mr Elvis Costello OBE!Jessie was in charge of cooking this time so Lennie was relaxed and raring to go. We talk about his musical family background, meeting his wife Diana Krall for the first time in f...
