S11 Ep 10: Hannah Ware

We are truly honoured to host legendary music icon, Gloria Estefan this week. Fresh into London from Miami, Gloria joined us for lunch which we really wish could have lasted all day and night. We found out about her family escaping Cuba during the revolution, her legendary Cosmo recipe, working with her beloved husband Emilio, owning a hotel & restaurant in Miami and we discover what it is like performing to five US presidents (and who served the best food). I grew up listening to her music and was completely enthralled by everything she had to say. We could do this with Gloria every day and never get bored, she’s a superstar and the absolute perfect dinner party guest with endless fabulous stories! Mark my words Gloria, we will come and see you in Miami soon, thank you for popping round to Clapham. Gloria’s new album Raíces is out now. Hosted on Acast.

We welcome Saturday Night Live and Bridesmaids icon Maya Rudolph on the podcast this week! Over a delish chicken schnitzel we talk all about Maya working with The Fonz, being part of a Wendy’s dynasty, stealing Molly’s wardrobe from the set of Loot, her love of London, her thoughts on Marmite and we’re even treated to Maya’s brilliant impression of Kate Moss! What an absolute delight it was to cook for you Maya, thank you for popping round to New Cross! Series 3 of Loot is available to stream now on Apple TV+. Hosted on Acast.

We had the most gorgeous night celebrating the launch of Series 18 of Table Manners at Brunswick House! Thank you to all the fabulous guests for joining us for a delicious dinner cooked by chef Jackson Boxer, and the fabulous Moth cocktails too - the best canned Espresso Martini & Margs out there! Big shout out to the beautiful Park Hyatt London Riverside for treating us to balloons, an actual leopard print cake, and a gorgeous suite for us to get our glam on too. What a treat to get to keep talking to such fab podcast guests each week and to still be making this 18 series in! x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we’re joined by British acting royalty - in every sense of the word - it’s the newly knighted Sir Gary Oldman! Mum & I popped over to the Dorchester in London where Gary treated us to his (and Jackson Lamb’s) very favourite Chinese meal. We heard all about his life in Palm Springs, his mum’s cooking, growing up in New Cross, playing Lee Harvey Oswald, living in an empty hotel, the future of Slow Horses and we hear an incredibly touching story of his friendship with the late John Hurt. Thank you Gary for such a delightful afternoon, what a treat to eat and chat with such an icon. The new fifth series of Slow Horses is now streaming on Apple TV+. Hosted on Acast.

We’re back, it’s Series 18 and as well as listening to us, you can now watch our full episodes on YouTube! We’re back with the one and only Reese Witherspoon! The Oscar winning actress popped round to Clapham for a roast with all the trimmings and we loved every minute. We heard all about her love of PG Tips, living in Nashville, becoming a Swedish Narwhal for her kids at story time, filming The Morning Show, what it was like being a mother to 34 piglets in Sing, drinking a green smoothie every morning and we heard the secret to the best cookie. What a total treat to have Reese kick off series 18 with us, we can’t wait to go cowboy boot shopping with her in Nashville! The brand new series of The Morning Show is now streaming on Apple TV+. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
