   Joy Is Christmas Down Under, with Rick Stein

   A special Christmas treat for our final episode of the season, and who better to join us than Mr Christmas himself, Rick Stein! Rick is a renowned English chef, restaurateur, writer, and television presenter, best known for his love of fresh, simple seafood and for building a culinary empire in Padstow, Cornwall. After studying English at Oxford, he started out as a nightclub owner, running club nights in Padstow. In 1975 he converted the club into The Seafood Restaurant, which became highly successful and earned him a national reputation. Rick has since hosted numerous popular BBC cooking series, written over 30 cookbooks, and runs restaurants in the UK and Australia, receiving a CBE in 2018 for services to the economy. Rick's latest cookbook, Rick Stein's Christmas is his first book entirely dedicated to festive recipes, memories, and stories. What a treat! About the Joy Season The world feels like a lot right now, and it can be hard to find those small moments that make us smile. In restaurants, we get three chances a day to bring joy — breakfast, lunch and dinner — but it doesn’t stop there. This season, The Joy Season, we’ll be talking to some truly brilliant people about the sparks of joy that keep them going, on and off the plate.

   Joy Is Movement, with Michael O'Hare

   Today we’re joined on Honey & Co. The Food Sessions by British chef and television personality, Michael O'Hare. Known for his innovative, experimental, art-inspired cuisine and signature "rockstar" personal style, Michael gained prominence as the chef-patron of the Michelin-starred restaurant The Man Behind The Curtain in Leeds. He initially studied aeronautical engineering and trained as a pilot before discovering his passion for cooking in his mid-twenties, training at prestigious restaurants, including Noma in Copenhagen and L'Ortolan. He also studied classical and modern ballet in his youth, which he credits as an influence on his artistic approach to food presentation. Michael is such a character and we had a lot of fun talking about his journey to the kitchen and the things that bring him joy in his life.
