NYC Season - Ep 2: Samin Nosrat
February 06, 2019 04:00 - 46 minutes - 107 MBBeyond excited that we managed to bag this week’s guest. I read her book the moment I got my hands on it and am addicted to her Netflix original series, 'Salt Fat Acid Heat'.

December 05, 2018 04:00 - 48 minutes - 112 MBIt’s not very often you can say you’ve got a Spice Girl in your kitchen... but this week’s guest and season finale is none other than Ms Melanie Brown. Mum pulls out a winning roast dinner whilst Mel ogles over her stuffing and we ply my daughter with cake so she doesn’t interrupt the juicy parts of Mel’s tumultuous story. Yorkshire puddings, fainting goats (?!?) and which Spice Girl has the worst table manners are all on the menu. Table Manners returns for a Christmas special on December 1...

November 28, 2018 04:00 - 43 minutes - 98.6 MBThis week we have a first for Table Manners, Nottingham’s finest, SIR Paul Smith talks to us about his love of early mornings, ‘hospital food’, style, his beloved Pauline and London hotspots.

November 14, 2018 04:00 - 47 minutes - 109 MBThis week we speak to Author, Guardian columnist and part time rock star Tim Dowling. And we see how Mum’s obsession with this charming (albeit slow eating) columnist comes a little too close to Kathy Bates in ‘Misery’.

S4 Ep 1: Nigella Lawson
October 10, 2018 03:00 - 52 minutes - 119 MBTable Manners is back!! And what better way to start series 4 than with the ultimate kitchen goddess… Nigella Lawson. She has been top of our list since day one, so brace yourselves for mum and me melting over her. We talk midnight snacks, her being a fussy eater as a child (there’s hope for all our children), eating rice pudding for breakfast...and apart from her love of Vegemite, she can do no wrong.

S3 Ep 8: Alan Carr
July 18, 2018 03:00 - 44 minutes - 101 MBAlan Carr. We knew we were in for a treat but could this be our funniest guest yet?! From the moment he walked in discussing his farm animals' sexual exploits, to his eventual 'Come Dine with Me' scoring of 1/10 for us - my GOD we laughed. And drunk. This was such a pleasure to listen back to and I hope you enjoy it too! Produced by Alice Williams Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S3 Ep 7: Yotam Ottolenghi
July 11, 2018 03:00 - 50 minutes - 115 MBWhat do you do when you have the god that is Ottolenghi round? Well, you make him bring dessert and ask him enough questions until he eventually cooks the main too! I can also confirm that friendships can be made through persistence or even stalking. We speak about his children, his husband and their surrogacy process and (finally!) simplifying his dishes. L’chaim! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S3 Ep 6: MIST
July 04, 2018 03:00 - 42 minutes - 97.9 MBMIST. We knew when he requested Coffee Patron as his dinner drink of choice we were in for a good night.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S3 Ep 5: Tom Kerridge
June 27, 2018 03:00 - 51 minutes - 118 MBTom Kerridge. Glad we asked him to bring a pud because his Strawberry Bakewell was so good we talked about it for weeks! Tom spoke to us about everything and anything - his diet, working alongside his wife, water being a secret cooking weapon and he even judged a Labneh competition between mum and I. What a lovely man Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S3 Ep 3: Tracey Thorn
June 13, 2018 03:00 - 44 minutes - 102 MBTracey Thorn. Singer, songwriter, novelist, one half of Everything but the Girl - I absolutely loved chatting to her. As a singer we have been likened to each other but I hadn’t realised how many similarities we actually had. We talk about stage fright, hypnotherapy, taking your family on tour and the one question journalists always annoy us with. This episode is best served alongside a martini, a dose of summer sunshine and Everything But The Girl’s ’Missing” on the speakers. Cheers! Hoste...
S3 Ep 2: My Dad Wrote A Porno
June 06, 2018 03:00 - 43 minutes - 99.3 MBAlice, Jamie & James from My Dad Wrote a Porno... what a riot we had! I’m surprised we managed to record a podcast at all. This evening reminded me so much of the dinners we used to have at my mum's growing up - everyone howling with laughter and staying until the wee hours. So wee that mum left hours before we finished recording. If you’ve listened to MDWAP you’ll know what to expect: adult themes, sexual content and strong language. Basically all the good stuff. Hosted on Acast. See acast...
S3 Ep 1: Randy Jackson
May 30, 2018 07:51 - 45 minutes - 103 MBRecorded at my sister's house in LA, to celebrate 4/20, we brought a slice of Britain to Table Manners newest guest Randy Jackson.

S2 Ep 9: Stacey Dooley
April 11, 2018 02:00 - 53 minutes - 122 MBSo it's the SEASON FINALE with Stacey Dooley! And what a guest she was. We’d barely taken the chicken out of the oven and mum was already won over. Stacey has carved out a name for herself that is respected amongst the best. A woman with a knack for disarming subjects in the most hostile of situations. We get some tips on squeezing information out of guests, where to eat in Brighton and even the best tactics for shitting in shoeboxes. See you very soon for series 3! Produced by Alice Willi...
S2 Ep 8: Felix White
April 04, 2018 03:00 - 44 minutes - 102 MBFelix White. Some of you know him from The Maccabees, some of you know him from his cricket journalism but I know him as the new boy at school who I forced to go out with me at 9 years old. Since then we’ve shared many experiences; a few teenage snogs, our first TV appearance and even our first mugging. He’s had countless dinners at Mum's over the years and here pops over to mine for one more. Yala! Produced by Alice Williams for Cup and Nuzzle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for m...
S2 Ep 7: Jay Rayner
March 28, 2018 03:00 - 41 minutes - 94.5 MBHow does one prepare a dinner party for a food critic?! After the initial flapping Mum took off to make sure her hair looked fabulous and I put my Paxman hat on and whipped out hard hitting questions such as “Would you do Greg Wallace?” This week its Jay Rayner making us feel all nervous about our hosting abilities. We like to think the three helpings of lemon ice cream secured us a solid 4 stars... Produced by Alice Williams for Cup and Nuzzle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...
S2 Ep 6: Dermot O'Leary
March 21, 2018 04:00 - 45 minutes - 103 MBOh Dermot. Not since mum cooked for Ottolenghi has the Ware household been so flustered to host a guest. Utterly charming, definitely deserving of his ‘nicest man in showbiz’ tag and potentially the biggest secret foodie we’ve had so far. Points were only lost by not divulging the X Factor gossip that mum so desperately wanted. What a true professional. 9/10. Produced by Alice Williams for Cup and Nuzzle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S2 Ep 5: George Ezra
March 14, 2018 04:00 - 38 minutes - 87.4 MBOh George Ezra. What can I say? The night had so much potential... Mum was looking forward to a Budapest duet and instead it ended in a catastrophe that my pelvic floor definitely wasn’t strong enough for and our first emergency Deliveroo order. We’re so sorry George. Produced by Alice Williams for Cup and Nuzzle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S2 Ep 4: Amol Rajan
March 07, 2018 04:00 - 37 minutes - 69 MBIs there anything Amol Rajan hasn’t done? Presenter of The One Show, youngest editor of the Independent newspaper, judge on Masterchef, and now currently the BBC’s Media Editor. Over a savoury cheesecake he manages to makes us laugh with his penchant for Del Boy dinners and nearly gives mum a heart attack with his last minute vegetarian request. Pass the piña coladas, let's get started! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S2 Ep 3: Ralf Little
February 28, 2018 04:00 - 40 minutes - 92.4 MBRalf Little. The most intensely brilliant guest and Twitter debatee. What you don’t see here is the three hours after we stopped recording sitting around the table setting the world to rights. What you do see is the lowdown on the Royle Family, ruined pancake days and our invite to Jeremy Hunt to finish the NHS debate once and for all. What a night! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S2 Ep 2: Paloma Faith
February 21, 2018 04:00 - 49 minutes - 113 MBPaloma Faith - inspiring woman, powerful voice, beautiful hair. She taught us so much in this episode. Giving celebrities food poisoning. Random acts of kindness. And most of all: never trust your guest's temporary dietary requirements! Produced by Alice Williams Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
S2 Ep 1: Ed Sheeran
February 14, 2018 04:00 - 43 minutes - 100 MBTable Manners returns with Ed Sheeran and an even more ferocious appetite! Yes, mum and I are back and still arguing over who does the dishes.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Ep 7: Sandi Toksvig
December 20, 2017 04:00 - 39 minutes - 89.5 MBRadio 4’s finest, QI darling, radical history rewriter and one of the most inspiring women I have ever met... Sandi Toksvig drops by mum’s for this week’s Table Manners. The Bake-Off drinking game, Wikipedia's male bias, Paul Hollywood's eyes, Christmas dinner in Denmark… Trust me, we cover it ALL. Produced by Alice Williams for Cup and Nuzzle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Ep 6: Loyle Carner

Ep 2: Will Young And Chris Sweeney
November 15, 2017 04:00 - 30 minutes - 70.2 MBSo for Ep 2 I thought it was only right and proper that I invite over my dear, dear family friend and awesome promo video director Chris Sweeney, along with his partner in podcast crime and Cabaret star Will Young, a.k.a. the Homo Sapiens boys!
