Catch Ups In My Kitchen

I’m joined in my kitchen by Florian de Chezelles and James Dare, the founders of The Salad Project, a fast-casual London-based salad bar redefining healthy eating by making wholefoods delicious, enjoyable and convenient.
The Salad Project opened its first store in Spitalfields in 2021 and has since grown to 11 locations, with rapid expansion underway and exciting plans to open their first European store later this year.
In today’s world, healthy eating and understanding what we consume has never been more relevant. As people move away from ultra-processed foods and towards natural, whole ingredients, The Salad Project is perfectly positioned, built around a fresh build-your-own bowl model that champions quality and flavour.
But it’s not just the food that makes The Salad Project stand out. It’s the brand, the atmosphere, the customer journey and the full 360-degree experience, all of which we dive into in this episode.
Both Florian and James come from strong hospitality backgrounds, and for them, experience is everything. That focus is what truly sets The Salad Project apart in an increasingly competitive market.
If you love The Salad Project, are an entrepreneur, or enjoy hearing the stories behind fast-growing businesses, this episode is for you.

In my kitchen this week, I am joined by Kia Porter, a naturopathic practitioner who supports women with their hormones and fatigue so they can stop feeling burnt out, exhausted, and like enough is never enough. One of Kia's sayings that I absolutely love is "women aren’t little men".

Women are built differently, and therefore, we need to operate differently.

In this conversation, we unpack why so many women are stuck in survival mode, how hormonal health and energy are deeply connected, and what actually needs to change if you want sustainable success — not just pushing harder until you crash.
This episode is not about doing more.
It’s about doing what’s right for your body.

The topics we discuss are:
The starter kit to reducing burnout
How diet impacts burnout
Living an Anti-Inflammatory lifestyle, what that means and how to do it
How do we stop feeling like we are on a hamster wheel
Being busy is glamorised - how do we stop this
The difference between women and men
Working with our hormones not against them
Wellness tools, brands and products that can help you this year

For the final episode of the year, I’m joined in my kitchen by your favourite guest of 2025 — the ultimate glow-up queen, Izzy Utterson ✨

This episode is kindly sponsored by HEALF, the go-to destination for all things health and wellness, empowering you to feel and be the best version of yourself.
In this festive catch-up, Izzy and I reflect on the year gone by, diving into the wellness habits we’ve loved adding into our routines, as well as the ones we’ve happily left behind. We chat through our goals for the new year and share our HEALF wish-lists, including some of our favourite products.

While Christmas is often a joyful time spent with friends and family, it can also be incredibly challenging. Izzy opens up honestly about her journey with her mum and how she navigates Christmas as an anxiety-inducing time for her. If you find the festive season tough or feel pressure to feel excited when you’re not, this episode is for you — you’re not alone, and we see you.

So for all the wellness girls looking for a little extra guidance, comfort, and inspiration to round off the year, we hope you enjoy this episode

This week in my kitchen, I’m sitting down for a solo episode to share my personal 2025 health and wellness debrief. I’m chatting about everything from reintroducing meat into my diet after a decade, to the supplements I’m currently loving, the wellness practices I rely on, and the areas I’m still working on.

Hosting this podcast gives me the privilege of learning from so many incredible experts—but you can’t adopt every piece of advice. Sometimes you need to sift through it all and figure out what genuinely supports you. So in this episode, I’m giving you an honest update on where I’m at in my own wellness journey.

Topics discussed:
What health and wellness mean for me now
What I’ve changed or doubled down on throughout the year
How my diet has changed
Focusing on clean ingredients and overall clean eating
Added meat back into my diet
Including bone broth — and the reasons behind it
Sharing the journey and process around this change
Guilty pleasures - Acknowledging the importance of having enjoyable indulgences
Supplements I've introduced this year
Cleaning Materials and Household swaps
Wellness practices I can't live without
What I want to work on in 2026
