I was over the moon thrilled to sit down with the wonderful Hope Batchelor for the very first Kitchen Table Talk and what a phenomenal conversation it was. Hope is a huge inspiration to me and I’m sure to many of you, too!
You might know Hope from MasterChef UK (Series 20), from her gorgeous Substack Something Very Good, or from the brilliant community of nearly 250,000 she’s built across Youtube, TikTok and Instagram. Hope made the leap from a career in the corporate world to being a full time food, lifestyle and beauty content creator and she’s not looked back since.
We talked about everything from core food memories, the moment she realised food could be more than a passion, life after MasterChef and the reality of building a food career from scratch.
She shares honest advice for anyone dreaming of making the leap themselves, how she fits 48 hours into a 24 day, how she protects her love of baking and cooking now that it’s her job - and much, much more.
Hope is a baker, chef, recipe developer, leftover enthusiast (wait until you hear about the ‘use first’ container) and someone who genuinely believes food is about bringing people together. This conversation proves exactly that!
Once again, thank you so so much to Hope for joining me for our very first edition of Kitchen Table Talk. We hope you enjoy!
