Show Notes

This week Gilly is with chef, TV presenter and now, finally author, Andi Oliver


She’s one of the most successful black women on British TV, a respected pundit on Caribbean cooking on Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet and rocking it in the best frocks on the telly in the Great British Menu. And after her return to her ancestral home of Antigua with her daughter Miquita for the BBC,  she’s rethinking her connection with who she is. Her mix of musings and recipes from her trip though the Caribbean are captured in her first book, The Pepperpot Diaries, a stirring together of her stories and complex layers of identity. 


And as she and Gilly contemplate what it means to be 60, she tells us what it’s felt like waiting to exhale.
