In this delightful episode of Hey Sis Eat This, we welcome half-sisters Natasha Gregson Wagner and Poppy Wall for an intimate conversation about family, food, and the magic of shared experiences across continents. Growing up on different sides of the Atlantic, these sisters have a unique bond despite being raised in two distinct worlds—Natasha in the glamorous backdrop of Hollywood as the daughter of legendary actress Natalie Wood, and Poppy in the serene countryside of Wales.
You’re going to love the story of how Natasha discovered she was going to be a big sister, their fond memories of growing up together, and the profound impact their mother Julia Gregson, had on their lives. Julia, an award-winning journalist, was the calming force of the family, embodying a hippy spirit and mystical beauty that left a lasting impression on step daughter, Natasha. With her warm demeanor and nurturing presence, Julia created a sanctuary in her Wales country side home where everyone felt at ease, encouraging open dialogue and genuine connection, despite the antiquated plumbing. She truly valued the sacred ritual of gathering around the dinner table, where deep conversations and vodka from the freezer flowed freely for hours. Epic meals in Wales played a pivotal role in the sisters upbringing and Julia’s fruit crumble and beloved shepherd’s pie continue to grace their family dinner tables, today.
Tune in for a peek into the Gregson family’s traditions, and discover the lessons learned about the importance of nurturing relationships around a shared table and pursuing passions at any age. There’s culinary inspiration and lots of familial affection, as we explore the enduring bonds of sisterhood, the joys of cooking, and the legacy of the remarkable Mummy Julia.
