It’s the final episode of the season(!!!) and I roped my little sister into chatting on the pod. Sophie aka @sophiesplate is a nutritionist and semi-food influencer, well-versed in all things food. Listen to us chat about the art of the sandwich, why bread selection is vital and our mutual love for the queen of the Food Network channel: Ina Garten. @sophiesplate @eatbyamy
On the penultimate episode of the season, we’re joined by NYC born and raised foodie, Mel (@melaniemariexx) - who also happens to be the coolest mum ever.

This week’s food tales come from my ex boss, food writer and MasterChef critic, William Sitwell (@williamsitwell). We chat about his illustrious career (including how we met), the beautiful simplicity of a good spaghetti carbonara, and his rather gluttonous death row meal - which obviously ends in a self-saucing chocolate fondant. @williamsitwell @eatbyamy p.s. The astute amongst you might have noticed this is a week late - apologies, life was life-ing! p.p.s. Due to when this was filmed the lighting gets progressively worse as the episode goes on, so sorry to any visual viewers.
