NEW SERIES. EPISODE 6. student grace williamson cooks lentil soup

For this final episode of season 4 of 5 O’ Clock Apron Podcast Claire cooks with her 19-year-old daughter Grace, the catalyst for Dear Grace the cookbook. As many who follow Claire on instagram @5oclockapron will know, Grace left home for University last September and is very much missed by all of her family. Home for the summer holidays, and Grace’s suggestion, Grace wanted to cook with her mum for this podcast recording. This is a lovely listen, less Grace teaching Claire, more mother and daughter cooking together, talking about the year that’s passed and what Grace has learnt, about cookery and also life, since leaving home.

Claire and Grace make a lentil soup together in the kitchen at home for their lunch that day. With the soup ticking over on the oven top, the pair discuss student cookery, where to shop and why at University, the hole that Grace left at home and how hard Claire found the change in their family dynamics. Grace and Claire have good laugh about BuzzBalls, Biggie BuzzBalls in particular, and what a stronghold these strange, shaped cocktails have over the student population.

It’s been a delight making this next series of 5 O Clock Apron Podcast and the podcast continues to go from strength to strength.
