Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew
Hoovering - Episode 73: Jess Lea-Wilson
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 eating all sorts of salty wonderfulness with the absolutely brilliant big potato over at Anglesey’s amazing Halon Mon salt - Jess Lea-Wilson.
Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

Honourable Mentions
You can follow HALON MON salt on Twitter and get your lovely bits on Jess’ excellent BOOK called ‘The Magic of Seasoning’ too - I’ve already cooked a ‘quickle’ from it and it was genuinely the most knock-out yummy salad snack and took me about 3 minutes to make
MY WEBSITE is here, should you want to come to any of my stand up gigs and previews.
That jeweller I mentioned who admitted all his stock was shit and went bankrupt was GERALD RATNER
I give a little toot to the majestic HORNIMAN MUSEUM
Jess baked us mind-blowing cookies courtesy of a Clare Patak recipe, the brains and braun behind VIOLET CAKES - my favourite thing about which, obviously is that it sounds like ‘violent cakes’
We talk about W H Smiths which is a UK stationary shop, and more
As ever I toot the mighty ODDBOX where I get my wonky, rejected or surplus fruit and veg
THIS is a super noodle and as if it needs a link, but here is the GUILTY FEMINIST
The long forgotten rice puff sweets Jess likens to ant snacks are RAINBOW DROPS
And lets not forget her dream guest, KIRSTY YOUNG
OH, And
If you have got a any spare dosh to give a month I’m on this great site called PATREON where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast. Click on the word PATREON, either of them.
