Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 76: MOB Kitchen

Season 1, Ep. 76

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.


This week I’m talking to a lovely man called Ben Lebus whose the author of a badass new book called MOB Veggie. We talked about what it’s like setting up a food platform and then we covered everything from party rings to being a constantly naked child. What a lovely chat it was! 


Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

Honourable Mentions


My guest was the wonderful BEN LEBUS from the excellent MOB KITCHEN - and I can promise that his new book MOB VEGGIE is a fucking great cookbook. Simple, cheap recipes for really really good food.

I mention the music of the brilliant SQUAREPUSHER


Ben talks about HARLEY STREET which is basically a road where rich people go for their surgeries.
