I sat down with one of my childhood culinary heroes (and my dad’s!), Ken Hom. He recorded from his gorgeous house in France, where he splits his time between there and Thailand.Ken is one of the most celebrated TV chefs of our generation, bringing the flavours of Chinese cooking to our homes. We cover his life in food; how he got into the culinary scene and why he’s still traumatised from his first ever show on the BBC in the 80s!We both bond over the issues with food waste, how much we love the chilli oil in Chinese restaurants and I think he loves crisps as much as I do – he couldn’t even let me get the whole question out!He dissects Chinese food and explains the different regions, where he eats Chinese food and how it’s evolved over the years and he tells a great anecdote about cooking for Tina Turner! What a guy Ken is! I can’t wait to meet him in person and share some Chinese food with him (he’s ordering).@chefkennhom@[email protected] by @casnova____I am beyond excited to announce that I have partnered up with Magimix for this season of Crazy Sexy Food!As the inventor of the food processor, Magimix is a family owned business that has an amazing reputation as makers of quality kitchen appliances and are cherished and adored all around the world by both chefs and home cooks alike.I remember growing up and always seeing my mum's beloved Magimix on her counter top, and the utter ease of how she used it.
