"You can never have too much of a good feeling" - Sophie Ellis-Bextor


On this episode of Three Food Memories you'll sit down with the one and only darling of (kitchen) disco, Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

On the menu: lobster casserole cooked by her husband Richard, spaghetti pomodoro by the beach in Italy, and cod and chorizo stew with the band and baby. 

Sides include: musings on music, family, work, and being a mum to five boys. Oh, and a random eBay purchase that's become part of the wallpaper.  

Sophie's social cause is Save the Children UK, who reached 41.2m children in 93 countries around the world. From crisis response to lasting change, they fight for every child's right to survive, learn and be protected – in the UK and around the world.
