"We've got to ask much bigger questions about what Epstein got away with, how many people were entangled into that web" - Emily Maitlis 

In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet British journalist Emily Maitlis. The woman that did "that" interview with the former Prince Andrew. 

On Emily's menu is: Home-made pesto and a bright green birthday cake, Sabsi in Iran a decade ago, and a surprising third food memory that she's been thinking about ever since she tasted it in California.

Sides include: an unfulfilled hairdressing career, a childhood filled with cartwheeling, a delicious post-wedding Chinese meal - oh, and of course, Snoopy. 

Emily's social cause is AllChild - allchild.org which supports communities in underserved neighbourhoods across the UK to help children and young people build the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to flourish.
