Season 10: Episode 06: Camilla Kerslake & Chris Robshaw
For the season finale, I had to get my favourite couple on! Camilla Kerslake and Chris Robshaw are the perfect mix of fun, cheeky, talented and inspirational! In this episode, we talk all about how food is so intertwined in both their careers as a classical singer (Camilla!) and a pro ruby player (Chris). We discover Chris’s love of win and his entry into wine investments, and we find out all about Camilla’s pregnancy cravings. The conversation is cheeky, funny and full of laughs as I managed to squeeze the three of us in bed in our suite at the Four Seasons Hotel. Thank you to everyone who’s listened this season, it’s been a whirlwind of a ride as I recorded the episodes both before and after having a baby (and technically on the day of!).

Season 10: Episode 05: Candice Brathwaite
TW: Conversations about birth trauma and eating disorders feature in this episode.   Candice Brathwaite is a force to be reckoned with and so it was a huge pleasure to welcome her to my Four Seasons Hotel suite for a good ol’ chat. This is a particularly special episode for me, as you’ll find out towards the end of the chat when I disclose to Candice that I’m going into hospital that night to have my baby!! I couldn’t think of a better guest to spend my final moments with before my life changed forever. She has carved a career writing and speaking about motherhood, from the perspective of a black woman in the UK and the issues and real life stats that come with that. She is unapologetically herself and continues to advocate for the black community about the unique experiences black mothers face. Her new book, Manifest(o), is out later this year.   @candicebrathwaite @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.

Today calls for a celebration! Today marks the 100th episode!!!! I cannot believe we have some so far!  It only felt right to get a fabulous guest, or shall I say, two guests, on to commemorate such a milestone. And so, this week I welcome the fabulous and gorgeous Anna Friel and her daughter Gracie. This is my first mother-daughter duo; they’re super close just like my mum and I and so it felt right to get these wonderful ladies on! Anna has been acting since the age of 13 and became a household name when she appeared in Brookside. Since then she has gone on to work across film, TV, theatre and won even won an Emmy for her role in Marcella. She’s the real epitome of the brilliant British talent we have grown to love over the years, and being joined by her 17 year old daughter made the episode even more special. Gracie has just finished school and is about to embark on adulthood. We cover it all; food and catering on set, Anna’s favourite home comforts, why ketchup should be banned and Gracie’s growing interest in nutrition and eating well. We also bond over my favourite snack of all time – the humble crisps (just wait until you hear Anna’s answer)!! Thank you to Anna and Gracie for coming on, thank you to my team who continue to support me and the podcast and to all you lovely listeners, who make this all so worth it!

Season 9: Episode 05: Avelino
I am delighted to introduce rapper and musician, Avelino, to the Crazy Sexy Food house this week! Born in Angola and raised in Tottenham, Avelino’s foray into the music world goes waaaay back. He’s been making tunes for over a decade, he can name Stormzy and Wretch 32 as his biggest fans and he even has a family restaurant, Deluxe Manna, in North London cooking up Congolese food! He’s a true Manchester United fan, like me, and as well as bonding over the best football team in the world, we talk all about our love of jollof rice, spicy food, and…. Drake! What a true gent this man is. This is a conversation full of laughter, but also touches on the story behind Avelino’s music and what inspires him; the streets he grew up on, the struggles he and his peers faced, and the state of the country we live in when it comes to discrimination, racism and crime.  A brilliant chat with a brilliant man. Enjoy!   @officialavelino @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with Magimix for Season 9 of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast!

Season 9: Episode 04: Gennaro Contaldo
This week I have a true Italian food maestro, Gennaro Contaldo. He’s been on our screens, pairing up with his late, dear friend and another Italian food leader, Antonio Carluccio. He’s the man who taught Jamie Oliver the secret of Italian cooking and he’s the author of several cookbooks and the face of many a TV show.  His new cookbook, out now, Gennaro’s Cucina, focuses on the heart and soul of Italian cookery; the basics, the simple yet classic dishes, and really highlights food waste and how to cook with all ingredients and all parts of the fruit, veg, meat and fish. Gennaro was an absolute delight to interview, and came with his Italian charm and humour. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!   @gennarocontaldo @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with Magimix for Season 9 of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast!

Season 9: Episode 03: Ivan Orkin
This week, New York is in the house!!! I have the King of the Slurp, Ivan Orkin, over to chat all things ramen, Japan, Chef’s Table and what a proper noodle slurp actually is. Ivan found himself in Japan, as a New Yorker and did the thing most of us wouldn’t; he went and opened a ramen joint in Tokyo. Ramen and especially noodles are a Japanese delicacy. I wanted to find out the challenges he faced, the reception he received and how it overcame judgement to eventually win the locals over. We touch on his time on Chef’s Table, which allowed him to become a global face of ramen and the plans he has for the future. Don’t forget to catch some separate teasers on Instagram and TikTok of Ivan showing me how to do the slurp with a rather well known UK noodle brand! Not to be missed.   @ramenjunkie @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with Magimix for Season 9 of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast!

This week I am so excited to have Paul McKenna on the podcast! The worldwide renowned, celebrity hypnotist is known for helping some of the most successful people in the world overcome habits, addictions and phobias.  He has had a hugely successful TV career as well as selling over 10 million copies of his books. In fact his book, I Can Make You Thin is the best-selling self-help book of all time!  There is a huge link to hypnosis and food; from eating disorders, unhealthy relationships to food and doomed dieting. I ask Paul the deep questions we all want to know about why diets don’t work, how hypnosis can change a mindset, and why we develop bad habits in the first place. Thank you, Paul for coming on and giving us a snippet of your incredible knowledge of how our minds work and how we can change a mindset!   Follow me on Instagram and TikTok to see Paul perform hypnosis on me… it’s truly mindblowing!!!   @iampaulmckenna @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with Magimix for Season 9 of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast!

Welcome back to the Crazy Sexy Food podcast SEASON 9!!! I cannot believe we’re into the 9th season, and I’m back bigger and better than ever. What better way to kick things off than with Nancy Silverton; the queen of bread, the sandwich making maestro, the pizzaiola extraordinaire. Since opening La Brea Bakery in LA, Nancy brought artisanal breads and pastries to America. She’s won a James Beard Foundation award, owns restaurants around the world, including Pizzeria Mozza at Treehouse London, has written 9 cookbooks and was the star of Netflix’s Chef’s Table in Season 3. She’s a force to be reckoned with, a true boss lady, a woman who came into my home, complimented my interiors and homemade biscuits and opened up to me about her life in food. I want to be her when I grow up please! She’s also the most stylish lady I’ve met and rocks a hairclip like no other!     @nancysilverton @pizzeriamozzalondon @staytreehouse @crazysexyfood @hannahharley www.crazysexyfood.com   Music by @casnova____   I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with Magimix for Season 9 of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast!

She gives us a very performance of some of her best impersonations…. Wait until the end for the best of them all! Thank you for tuning in this season, and for watching it too!

Season 8: Episode 09: Paul Feig
I am finally joined by Hollywood royalty!! It only took 8 seasons to get there! Paul Feig popped over for a chat, and a couple cocktails to talk all about directing Bridesmaids (my fav film ever!), what the life of a director is really like and why he prefers his martinis stirred NOT shaken. Paul Feig has been a main player in the entertainment industry for years, and has put his hand to the likes of the aforementioned film, the Ghostbusters remake, The Heat, Spy and Freaks and Geeks to name but a few. He is also a master cocktail maker and recently released his first cocktail book; Paul Feig’s Cocktail Time. Throughout the episode, Paul made me a couple cocktails and I subsequently got drunk.

I am incredibly honoured to bring you a very special episode this week. I’d like to highlight that this is a very emotional and sensitive conversation between myself and Olia Hercules and Alissa Timoshkina, the ladies behind #CookForUkraine; the global movement of supper clubs, restaurants and chefs supporting the people of Ukraine, since the atrocities began earlier this year. It was a privilege to sit down with these incredible ladies and hear not only about the platform and what they’ve been doing to raise money; but also hear about their life stories and the different cultures they have both come from. I urge anyone, however small or big, to donate to #CookForUkraine or even host a supperclub in its honour.
