Out of Frame · Food Stylist: How to make a perfect plate for cinema · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

You know, often they were doing this scene and then the historical team would send an email going, this is what she ate, this was what the menu was for the banquet she had with the Russian president in whatever year it was.

Well, sometimes it can be, it does make it hard because it's like, well, this is what they actually, how am I going to recreate that?

And how am I going to make it last?

And how, I had to do Winston Churchill's birthday cake and there's a Pathé News footage of it.

And it was really, it was really big.

It was like the size of this table, which is nothing about me that surprised me.

Yeah, nothing.

And they did send me the link and I did watch this Pathé News footage because it's sort of in the background and I played it 20 times to work out how am I going to make that.

It was a fake tape because it was a game, just background.

I did a film called The Darkest Hour where it's all about Winston Churchill.

this is what we did before and this is how we were living.

And we had rationing way into the 50s, even after the war had ended, which was pretty brutal.

What are you working on right now?

I'm doing a bit of Slow Horses.

That starts up again next week.
