Show notes

Welcome to this episode where I talk to my partner and great love, Jon Tipler. Audio engineer, artist, paper mache wizard and wonderful cook, he is a man who loves a chat around a kitchen table, preferably with a cheese board.


We talk about growing up in the East Midlands of England, becoming a vegetarian at a young age, the Greek friend who shaped his whole approach to food and eating as an adult and the way sharing food has always been a central part of our life together. John is the main cook in our house and one of my favourite things is to walk through the front door straight into the kitchen and see John at the cooker with a wooden spoon in his hand and a glint in his eye. He bakes cakes for my workshops, makes his famous tortilla de patatas for any friend who asks and will go above and beyond to make your every meal a special occasion.


I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed setting aside a morning to cook, eat and talk with my partner in life and at The Kitchen Table, Jon Tipler.
