My guest on today’s episode is Ceri Jones, a food educator, chef and author of the new book It Starts With Veg: 100 Seasonal Suppers and Sides


In this episode, Ceri shares: 


  • Why she feels so open and free about talking about her period 
  • The career transition she made from managing orchestras to becoming a chef and food writer 
  • The joy she finds in cooking and helping others learn to cook
  • How an in person class can help anyone feel less intimidated by cooking 
  • How her new book can help you get to grips with seasonal eating
  • A few tips and tricks for choosing the best quality veg when you’re out grocery shopping 
  • The process of writing a cookbook (including the costs!)
  • And of course, the story of her first period 


Ceri says that food doesn’t need to be complicated to taste good and starting with simple things is a great way to feel less intimidated in the kitchen. She says that a lot can be done with garlic and salt and one or two spices, the squeeze of lemon juice at the end, and adding lots of fresh herbs into your cooking. 


Thank you, Ceri!
