This week in my kitchen, I'm joined by Howey, the head of coffee at Grind, to delve into the art of making delicious coffee and explore the secrets behind Grind's success.

Grind began as an independent coffee shop in Shoreditch in 2011, known for its flat whites, great music, and vibrant atmosphere. It has since evolved into a much larger brand, with products now available in Tesco, Waitrose, and on Amazon, bringing that unique Shoreditch coffee shop experience to homes across the UK.

Coffee, much like wine, is more than just a beverage; it's a culture, a lifestyle, and an art form. In this episode, we celebrate all that coffee embodies. I also get the chance to address some pressing questions and debunk myths, such as whether coffee contains mould and if oat milk is really as bad as some say.

If you're as passionate about coffee as Howey and I are, this episode is definitely for you!

We discussed the following topics:

What makes a good coffee?
Coffee roasts - what does this mean and does it affect the caffeine?
Milk and coffee - Milk can really affect the taste of the coffee
Is oat milk as bad for us as it seems
Decaf coffee - what is the process it goes through
Does coffee have mould in it?

Some of the crucial parts to Grinds Success?

E.112 Clean Beauty and The Power of Fragrance with Yasmin Founder of KODO

In my kitchen this week I am joined by the gorgeous Yasmin to talk about her brand KODO, all things clean beauty and the power of fragrance when it comes to wellness, creating a moment or bringing back a memory.

While we all strive to improve our well-being through diet, exercise, and sleep, we often overlook the impact of the fragrances and creams we apply to our bodies and spray in our homes. The ingredients in these products can significantly affect our wellness and hormones

Yasmin, a fragrance enthusiast, noticed a gap in the market for home fragrances and clean beauty. She founded KODO to fill this void. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of KODO, where people gather to appreciate the art of incense, Yasmin aims to instil this same appreciation for fragrance. She encourages incorporating KODO into wellness routines, highlighting the health benefits of its clean ingredients and power to evoke memories of your favourite foodie moments.

We covered the following topics:

The power of smell and how it affects how we feel
The power of scent in re-surfacing a memory, or how a scent can remind you of a particular person
What does it mean to be clean beauty
What are some of the ingredients to look out for in fragrances and candles that are hormone disruptors and how do they disrupt our hormones
What other clean beauty brands do you recommend in other categories
The journey to KODO
How does KODO play a part in your everyday
