#194 The COOKS LIVE Podcast with Dr Rupy and Hanna Geller
25th Apr 2023
Today’s episode is a live recording from my first supperclub of my book tour to promote the latest cookbook “Dr Rupy COOKS” and it was recorded in front of a live audience in London.
We got to enjoy some beautiful food from the book prepared by Hanna Geller and her team who hosted the event at her home and interviewed me!
We talk about the mission for Doctor’s Kitchen, where I started, why I wrote this new book and also what I’m up to with the app, the non-profit work and future aspirations to change the way we look at food as medicine.
After two decades working as an interior designer, creating comfortable and inviting spaces, Hanna turned her attention to food. Combining these two great passions, she started the Building Feasts blog to share not only recipes and stories about the dishes she developed, but her philosophy on designing ways to bring people together around a Table. And it’s this passion for food that brings out a little debate element of this interview which I personally really enjoyed.
Hanna also teaches regular cooking classes, hosts Supper Clubs, pop ups and other events including collaborations with Pump Street Chocolate & Bakery, Honey & Co to name a few. You can find out more about it at www.buildingfeasts.com.
