Hoovering - Episode 221: John Kanell (Preppy Kitchen)

Season 1, Ep. 221

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.


In this episode I’m hoovering with the amazing mind behind Preppy Kitchen, the utterly charming and seemingly perfect John Kanell. He talks about food in the same way that Disney films talk about love so prepare yourself to have a MASSIVE CRUSH on whatever you’re planning to eat next. He melted my food loving mind-heart. Lucky us. Also his new book is genuinely full of fucking delicious ways of making simple meals a little bit extra jazzy.
