Season 10: Episode 04: Captain Sandy Yawn

This week I have the Queen of the Seas, the star of Bravo’s Below Deck, Captain Sandy Yawn! I’m still pinching myself that I got to chat with her and she’s on the podcast! I am the biggest Below Deck fan and I got to grill her on all the yacht antics, her favourite on-board chefs, what makes a great chef on these yachts and how she leads a crew. Sandy’s had an incredibly colourful life, with some really tough moments along the way. Her strength and resilience has catapulted her not only as an inspiration but as a public speaker and author. Her book, Be The Calm or Be The Storm, is out now!   @captainsandrayawn @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   This season I have partnered with the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, who have generously hosted us in one of their fabulous suites. Each episode, I get up, close and personal with my guests, order room service and chat all about their life in food. It doesn’t get better than this! Thank you so much to the Four Seasons Hotel for their hospitality!   **I’m delighted that this season of Crazy Sexy Food is headline sponsored by premium appliance manufacturer, Miele.  Over the last few years, I have got close to this incredible brand through Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park festival, where I have had the pleasure to watch (and eat!) dishes prepared by some of the UK’s finest chefs using Miele.  I was also invited to a special event by the brand at the fabulous Exton Park, which features Miele throughout, with lunch cooked by one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative restaurateurs, Tommy Banks.    If you are on a kitchen journey, I would highly recommend a visit to one of its Experience Centres where you will not only receive bespoke advice but can also join one of the many courses to experience its appliances first hand, including getting to enjoy lots of delicious food.  Excitingly it’s opening a new Mayfair store which is just opposite the Ritz - a great way to spend an afternoon!    This year is an exciting milestone for the family-owned company who will be celebrating its 125th anniversary, and while Miele continues to innovate, it stays true to its motto “Immer Besser”, which means Forever Better. The majority of its products are put through tough durability tests during the development phase to simulate 20 years use - for ovens this includes opening and closing the door 24,000 times!   To celebrate the partnership, Miele is kindly giving my listeners 10% off its fabulous appliances on miele.co.uk or through its Experience Centres until September 2024 with the code CRAZYMIELE     **I’m so happy to be partnering with Odysea on this season of the podcast. They’ve been scouring Greece & further afield for the finest food producers since 1991, bringing the highest quality flavours that the Mediterranean has to offer. Their range is carefully curated, to include hand-selected, traditionally-cured olives, award-winning honey from lovingly tended bees, and premium quality oils sourced from only the most acclaimed regional producers.  Food is a way to get back in touch with the things that matter most and connect on new and deeper levels and so the lovely people at Odysea are offering Crazy Sexy Food listeners 15% off at odysea.com using the code CSF15 until the end of 2024. This code can be used across the entire range, excluding brass mills and wines.
