How to Cook a Gremlin
I’m Sophie Archer, I’m a lawyer turned chef and entrepreneur. After having tackled some of my biggest gremlins - blood cancer, multiple rounds of unsuccessful IVF, a marriage breakdown I decided to change the course of my life. I am head cheffing and launching a new food business that I am excited to talk about. My recipe for cooking your gremlins - or tackling challenges and niggling doubts - includes uplifting food, sharing dishes with my favourite people and embracing an unconventional life.
In this pod I speak to inspiring guests that have taken unusual paths - including chefs, interior designers, marketeers, entrepreneurs, journalists, therapists, life coaches and doctors to name but a few. We discuss their recipes for; mending heartache, fun, health and cooking their gremlins.
Expect cooking hacks, plenty of laughter, restaurant recommendations, heartwarming insights and unsolicited life advice!
How to Cook a Gremlin
Ed Hough - Trailblazing co-founder of Safari Series talks plastic surgery ice breakers, food time travel and looking your gremlins in the eye
Ed and Moon Hough founded the incredible Safari Series, in the foothills of Mount Kenya to bring a more modern, ecological and equitable safari experience to the country. Their passion and vision are infectious. I was lucky enough to chef at this unique camp for a month this year and it was life changing. Their philosophy, gorgeous team and camp are unique.
Ed is as idiosyncratic and fun as the lodge itself. Never short of a brilliant story or an exciting project, the whole experience grabbed me by the scruff and made it very hard to leave!
Ed and Moon have recently opened a location in Lamu, which is where Ed was talking to me from, in between Dawa cocktails. So you may hear some nature along with more Dawas arriving!
