About the podcast 🌶️: In this episode we explore the dustier corners of our kitchen cabinets with Rupert Derham, the founder of Spice Dept - the brand redefining the spice aisle through particular quality. As a generation of home cooks, we care where our ingredients come from. The origins of our olive oil. The provenance of our heirloom beans. Our sourdough, made locally, ideally by someone we could name. But when a recipe calls for smoked paprika or ground cumin, we head to the supermarket aisle and grab whatever generic glass jar is closest. The unfortunate truth: most supermarket spices are already three to five years old before you buy them. And by the time they hit your plate the flavours have already started to fade. Rupert lived in Delhi, where cooking with vibrant, peak-season, single-origin spices changed his relationship with food entirely. When he moved back to the UK, the lack of flavour on supermarket spice aisle drove him mad. So he decided to do something about it. Sourcing directly from pesticide-free farming groups in India and Sri Lanka, Spice Dept gets spices from harvest to kitchen counter in months, not years, and pays farmers up to 40% above market price. Wrapped in beautiful, table-ready tins, courtesy of my branding agency, Roleplay with creative director Hugo Ross at the helm, they’re designed to bring back a sense of pride back to home cooking - in more ways than one. In this episode, we dive into the world of commodity spice blending, the logistics of building a direct-from-farm supply chain, and why your spice rack is the last blind spot in an otherwise carefully considered kitchen. Put down the dusty jar, grab your pestle and mortar, and enjoy. #podcastseries #podcast #pdt

About the podcast 🎙️: In this episode we explore a new kind of ‘middle ground’ with Tarek Moursi, the founder of Better Sundays - the hard kombucha brand proving that you don’t have to choose between a good time and a good gut. We’ve spent the last decade watching the ‘low and no’ category take off, and while it’s great for a Tuesday night, sometimes you still want a drink - you just don’t want the beer bloat or the sugar-laden cider crash. Enter the ‘healthy hedonist’. Reflecting the cultural shift that’s happening where drinkers are moving away from the ‘all or nothing’ mentality and looking for what Tarek calls ‘sessionable’ alternatives that fit a more modern lifestyle. This is a category on fire. While the general UK kombucha market is growing at a healthy clip, the hard kombucha segment is projected to rocket at a staggering CAGR of 18.7% through to 2033. People are waking up to the fact that you can have your live cultures and your 3% ABV too. Tarek didn’t come from a drinks background. He spent his 20s in the high-pressure worlds of fintech and asset management, making 200 calls a day and leaving jobs just before he was asked to go. Better Sundays was born out of a personal need - traditional booze was making him feel gross, and the alternatives weren’t hitting the mark. From brewing in his kitchen to a 50-store Waitrose launch this November, Tarek has built Better Sundays with a ‘brutal speed’ that most founders only dream of. In this episode, we delve into the ‘bloody awful’ reality of bootstrapping, why being an industry outsider is actually a superpower, and the 3 a.m. cash-flow worries that come with an opportunity that’s outstripping your balance sheet. Pop a can, enjoy the cultures, and enjoy. #podcastseries #podcast #pdt

Ed & Laura on 35mm Film 🎞️ After exchanging vows in their village church, Ed and Laura welcomed everyone back to the family home, where the garden became the heart of the celebration. A marquee nestled into the amazing views, speeches beneath blue skies, drinks that drifted long into the afternoon, and the kind of warmth that only comes from celebrating somewhere filled with family history. There’s something about film that feels made for days like this. The soft light, rich colours and quiet imperfections preserve the feeling just as much as the moments themselves. A wedding that felt effortlessly relaxed, deeply personal and unmistakably English. Thank you so much for allowing me to celebrate the day with you ❤️ Venue: Family home, Somerset #SomersetWedding #35mmFilm #FilmWeddingPhotography #EditorialWeddingPhotography #LuxuryWeddingPhotographer 35mm Film Wedding Photography London Wedding Photographer Marquee Weddings

About the podcast 🎙️: In this episode we are swapping the coffee jitters for a ‘calm focus’ with Claudia Boyer, co-founder of JENKI - the UK’s favourite matcha brand, coming to a high street near you. As a coffee lover, I’ve always been curious (yet skeptical) of matcha. Isn’t it just ‘green tea’ rebranded for a new generation? For those who want to feel focused, not wired - swapping bean origin and moka pots for function and status - antioxidants and L-theanine, with an aesthetic that says ‘we’re on top of a chaotic life, not part of it’. This culture shift is a massive business opportunity. The UK matcha market is exploding, currently valued at around £175 million and projected to rocket to a staggering £300 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 8.6%. Claudia and her husband Otto saw this opportunity early and went straight to the source - the hills of Uji, Japan - to find a ceremonial grade powder that actually tasted good. They started with a £15 market stall at Brick Lane and have since built a new world of matcha with bars in Spitalfields, Selfridges, and Battersea Power Station, delivery for those who need it on demand, DTC channels those who need it at home, as well as wholesale for those who need it in store. In this episode, we delve into the confidence it took to remove coffee from their menu, the reality of building a business while raising twins, and why matcha is the drink of a new generation. Grab your whisk and enjoy. #podcastseries #podcast #pdt
