• Joy is Pupdates, with Samin Nosrat

  Today marks the final episode of Season 11, AKA The Joy SeasonAnd who better to finish this season with than the most joyous person you are ever likely to meet... Samin Nosrat!Samin has been on the podcast before, back in 2018, with her Sunday Times Book of the Year and New York Times bestseller Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. We hosted her just before her hugely popular Netflix original documentary series based on the book came out, broke the internet, and changed her life and the way we cook forever. That was the start of a beautiful friendship and we are so happy to have her back on the podcast to discuss everything that has happened to her since. Samin has a new cookbook out called Good Things, which is about all the delicious things that come out of your kitchen and make your day better... could she be any more perfect for The Joy Season??What a treat! We talked about how Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat changed her life and the opportunities and difficulties it brought, how she overcame the second book fear, the realisation that work doesn't have to make you miserable to be good, and the tools she has learnt to help bring joy to her everyday. From going to the beach to trying new hobbies, and from enjoying life through the eyes of her puppy Fava to making time for hanging in a hammock in her garden, Samin shared her own manual to joy. Thank you for listening to The Joy Season. In times like these, when the world can feel a little overwhelming, it’s more important than ever to seek out and savour the joy wherever we can find it. Working in restaurants, we have three moments in a day to bring joy: breakfast, lunch and dinner, but what about the moments in between? This question is at the heart of the latest season of The Food Sessions which sees us sit down with brilliant people from all walks of life: chefs, broadcasters, comedians and fashion designers to not only talk about what they do day-to-day, but also to explore the passions that enrich their lives. Make sure you catch up if you've just found us, you can listen to guests Emily Maitlis, Hassan Semay, Felicity Ward, Luke Holder and more. This season is sponsored by Square, the point of sale system that we use in all our restaurants. You can use their software and hardware for payments, sales, inventory, bookings, orders, reports and more. Square are currently offering £4,000 worth of free hardware to eligible businesses, so if you're ready to get your business in better shape, head to square.com to learn more and book a demo with the team.Hosts: Sarit Packer & Itamar SrulovichProducer: Miranda HinkleySound Engineer: Melix OsluSound Mixer: Paul BrogdenAdditional Sound: Paul FordTheme Song: Daniel WinshallHoney & Co Team: Louisa Cornford & Winnie Thomas Hosted on Acast.
