Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

Allegra McEvedy: Chefs Wanted

Listen on

Episode notes

This week, Gilly continues to curate the changemakers with chef, author and co-founder of Leon, Allegra McEvedy


In Chefs Wanted, she’s on a mission to teach kids not just to play with their food but to cook like the pros. It’s a must-buy for any kids who want to be properly creative in the kitchen and stretch their skills.


But Allegra has a deeper purpose behind everything she does, including this book; Gilly last met her at the Conflict Café in London where she was hosting a Lebanese pop up supper club. As the tanks roll in again across Beirut, she asks her, as someone of real influence, how she feels about hope.


Head over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Allegra.
